Glad to see it survive, that was by the skin of the teeth. Sjakkalle 13:42, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: This is ridiculous. There is only one administration that can make nominations to the Supreme Court, why does it need to be spelt out in the article name? It also means a new article will have to be created if and when the administration changes. Still, better than having the article deleted I suppose. --Etimbo | Talk 14:22, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Article name change

message: I think this is a useful page to have when people want to look up who current nominees are. Perhaps it could be generalized and expanded to Current United States Judicial Nominees or such, and cover all pending nominations at the federal level - SCOTUS, Circuit, Appellate, etc.
Less ambitiously, I feel this page should be called "nominees", not "candidates". The latter word sounds like people running for office to me. Roberts and anyone else covered here are nominees.

thread_title:  My two cents - and why are we putting each person's views in their own section? 

message: Since there is already a paragraph in this article concerning Catholics on the Supreme Court, the above entry seems overly redundant. Except as an interesting piece of trivia, I do not think that it matters objectively how many Catholics there are on the Supreme Court.

replies: text: I agree.  This is an article about potential nominees.  If someone wants to research the religion of each candidate and list it by their name, it may have some merit (I added the birth years to each candidate several months ago, since it seemed relevant).  General trivia about the supreme court might belong in the SCOTUS article, but not in this article. NoSeptember 01:14, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Too Much Concentration on Nominees' Religion

message: I recall having read once that Presidents facing troubles with their Supreme Court nominees have sometimes opted to nominate a sitting U.S. Senator for the job, on the theory that the collegiality of the Senate makes it highly unlikely that Senators will reject one of their own. This notably happened in 1894, when Grover Cleveland overcame a string of rejections by nominating sitting senator Edward Douglass White. In any event, a pick from the Senate would not surprise me.  BD2412 talk 02:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  How about this old strategy... 

message: It's too big.  The article would look better with a smaller image and, further, some of the text (of the article) on the left of the image.  Daniel Quinlan 03:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: First, let's boot the following link, paying particularly close attention, to your first sentence:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Bush_Supreme_Court_candidates
Then, let's boot the next link for a look-see at the very first sentence, on big daddy's:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush_Supreme_Court_candidates 
Such a wonderful, gripping, stylish opening sentence, don't you think? I vote let's copy and paste the whole kit 'n kaboodle at the Wikipedia, beginning each page: "... Speculation abounded, over potential nominations to the..." [SNIP] - asj.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.39.22.117 (talk) 16:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
