O'Connor Resigns...

...conservatives breathe a sigh of relief that they won't have to read another masterpiece of mush like Casey. Now the succession battles begin.

Instapundit points to GullyBorg's suggestion that Ann Coulter get the nomination:

Either [the Democrats] confirm her, or they raise hell. Assuming they raise hell enough to block the nomination, anyone else Bush puts up as a replacement looks moderate by comparison. Then, he can name someone in the mold of Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, and the opposition will have to give in, since the replacement will be soooooo much better than Ann Coulter.

Three Years of Hell readers will recall that I made a similar suggestion--about as seriously--almost two years ago. Furthermore, I'm ready with t-shirts for the campaign.

I don't think I could wear a "Nominate Ann Coulter" t-shirt even in whistling-past-the-graveyard jest. Some things are too revolting to joke about. One can disagree wildly with Bork's positions and still have to acknowledge him as an important thinker for those positions. I've heard the Tempting of America cited so many times that I now feel obliged to read it, whereas reading Coulter (or even Laura Ingraham, who at least has the Clarence clerkship cred) is a complete waste of energy. Un?fortunately, there are enough rightwing possibilities who can articulate their beliefs without "because liberals are evil" that Senate Democrats will have to take issue with their ideology rather than their insanity.
