WASHINGTON (AP) - Anticipating a Supreme Court confirmation battle this summer, a conservative group was to begin airing television commercials Wednesday that feature two of the Republicans' most prominent critics and charge that Democrats "will attack anyone the president nominates" to a vacancy.
"A nominee deserves real consideration, instead of instant attacks," says the ad, which Progress for America has set to run on cable television nationally through July 1.
The organization has pledged to spend $18 million to help ensure confirmation for Bush's pick for the next Supreme Court vacancy, should one occur. The television ad represents part of a $700,000 down payment, according to a statement prepared for release.
