No Fight?

The president nominated another unknown for the Supreme Court today, showing us that he intends to avoid the kind of confirmation battle that one of the more controversial judges could have caused.

What does this say about Bush? That he's weak? Probably not. It probably means that he has other priorities that he doesn't want disrupted by a judicial battle. This is especially true considering the president's low public approval ratings and lack of support from Congress on issues such as social security and immigration.
