The First Hispanic Justice?

Conservative Hispanics, who gave President Bush 40% of the Hispanic vote in 2004, are expecting a Conservative Hispanic nominee. Conservative Hispanics are looking for the same thing the rest of the conservative base of GOP is expecting: a conservative nominee. A minority or woman is merely icing on the cake. The Hispanic front-runner, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, does not appear to be conservative enough, even for Hispanics.
From the Washington Post:
"Gonzales will divide the Republican base in an extraordinary fashion like no other nominee," said Manuel Miranda, chairman of the conservative Third Branch Conference.

The AP also reports that a Hispanic nominee will not be supported by all Hispanics.

To all Bush supporters, including Hispanics, the most important characteristic for a Supreme Court nominee is being conservative. Read more of the Washington Post story here.
