National Review has an Op-Ed by possible SCOTUS pick John Cornyn, about how liberals will treat the upcoming Bush nominee.

The process for selecting the next associate or chief justice should reflect the best of the American judiciary — not the worst of American politics. America deserves a Supreme Court nominee who reveres the law — not one who is required to make promises to politicians as a condition of serving on the federal bench. And we deserve a confirmation process that is civil, respectful, and keeps politics out of the judiciary. Anything else would greatly dishonor the tenure and service of our nation's first female Supreme Court justice, as well as our nation's founding commitment to the rule of law.

Shannen Coffin, Red Sox fan emeritus, has a send up of the upcoming judicial Armageddon and the Left's last stand.

Don't look now, but the sky is falling. At least that's what the liberal interest groups that have mobilized this week in preparation for the battle over Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's replacement to the Supreme Court would have you believe. Within minutes of the announcement of O'Connor's retirement, the dinosaurs of the Left took to the airwaves to attempt to frame the debate....All of the breathless talk was evidence of just how far the Far Left have slipped....The heyday of Bill Clinton's first term, where Democrats, for a short time, controlled both houses of Congress and 1600 Pennsylvania is long behind them. In the balmy summer of Washington, D.C., it is instead the frigid winter of liberal discontent.

Coffin also has some follow ups, along with other inputs from NRO, over at one of the other NRO blogs, Bench Memos. Check it out on a regular basis.
