I'm just watching the damage this nomination is inflicting.

Another unproven assumption. What "Damage"? Sorry you guys all just assume your feelings equal facts. They do NOT. You guys were never on Bush's side to start with. You are the same collection of "Freepers" who wail and moan at EVERYTHING. Sorry, those of us who pay attention cannot take you guys seriously. It's the same old song and dance every time. So, put up this time.

WHAT DAMAGE is this nomination doing? Not like the people doing all the moaning haven't been doing the same thing about gas prices, Katerina response, hurricane relief, git-mo, The Roberts Judaical pick etc etc etc. It is ALL NEGATIVE ALL THE TIME from some of you. Why should we care when we KNOW how your faction is going to act NO MATTER what Bush does? You are mad at Bush so you are going to complain. Will not matter AT all what he does. You will complain. It's Bash Bush all the time no matter what. Well guess what after the 1st 100 or so posts, we don't CARE anymore that your feelings are hurt.

Wicked witch of Left: how Hillary became a storybook villain - May be this will encourage you .Interesting read from UK media.

I am sorry to break it to you but it is harder for a woman to rise to certain levels than a man. Even today, but certainly 30 years ago. Opinionated women are simply not tolerated as well as opinionated men are. Not opinion, just fact.

Ms. Miers either has this ability and willingness to subjugate her views as her basic personality trait, or she adapted in order to succeed in circumstances not of her making and which she could not change.

My worst fear is that Ms. Miers is a stealth candidate to President Bush. He thinks that he knows her like the back of his hand, but maybe she just wanted him to think that.

It would take years of her being on the Supreme Court to know for sure. That's a gamble we can't take.

[MNJohnnie]

Funny how all the "Bush picked his crony" people foget Bush Sr did NOT know Souter. Guess picking out of the hat of Republican Party favorites did not work so hot did it?

[snugs]

Thanks for the link

[MNJohnnie]

worst fear is that Ms. Miers is a stealth candidate to President Bush. He thinks that he knows her like the back of his hand, but maybe she just wanted him to think that.

And maybe she is NOT. How many of W's judge choice have you reason to doubt? That is FACT, the rest is just hurt feelings and fears because OTHER PRESIDENTS picked judges out of the establishment and it bit us on the butt. Well maybe that is WHY W went outside the Elitiest Judical Guild to find someone. Sorry, I am NOT impressed with feelings I AM impressed with facts

POTUS would not have had to have had a "discussion" with her about her personal views --- all he need have done was to tell her that he would never want to make his fathers same mistake --- "make sure they're not like Souter." Message received.

[Phsstpok]

kristol was a mccainiac in 2000.

And was among those pushing Bush to dump Cheney in 2004, presumably in favor of McLame. I think he was also one pushing the Kerry/McLame rumors big time.

He has a long standing hatred for the Bush family that dates back to his time on Dan Quayle's staff. He's always blamed them for Quayle's problems.

[snugs]

I think Miss Marple already answered you most eloquently on this issue

[OldFriend]

Kelo applied to a particular case in Connecticut.

[MNJohnnie]

W is NOT perfect. Although I have whole heartedly supported him on most issues, he has made plenty of mistakes. I don't think anyone on this forum will disagree with that.

Answer the question and quit ducking by make irrelevant sneering nonseical responses. Name one of President GW Bush's judicial picks that has been an error? No more ducking, nor more snide sneering responses. ANSWER the question. Currently your side is LOSING the debate JUST cause none of you can actually ADDRESS a point.

[cardinal4]

BTW Great home page!!!!

Thank you! And I am disapointed in Krauthammers opposition, as well. I could care less about Kristol's or Buchannan's...

[Morgan in Denver]

I still take all the viewpoints seriously. Yeah, I think they are wrong this time, but it's been the other way around in the past so I'm not going to take the pro or con too personally. For all the carping, on either side, I think we can all agree we want the best for America and a more conservative nation.

[maica]

Sorry, the idea that "Time" has anyone in the Bush WH that talks to them is rather far fetched.

LOL! You mean to say that they have taken Matt Cooper, Mr Grunwald, off of their speed dial!

[MNJohnnie]

It would take years of her being on the Supreme Court to know for sure. That's a gamble we can't take

Pity for you this is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy, you don't get to vote.

[Iwo Jima]

All cases apply to a specific case or controversy, but Kelo is precedent for the entire United States in its interpretation of the takings clause. It applies just as strongly in Texas as in Connecticut.

[Phsstpok]

I think you are mean spirited.

Another incoherent statement from you. What are you referring to?

I also see that you misrepresent my words and sentiment. Doesn't mean you never post something thought provoking or true, but deliberate misrepresntation and deliberate obtuseness is juvenile.

Evidence, please? Pretty offensive statement to make without any evidence. Of course, most of what you've done in posting to me has been unsourced and insulting, though you've mostly hidden it well. You have to actually read the posts to see the pattern. I provided links to posts that I think illustrate my point. Would you be honest enough to provide some to where I've misrepresented you?

If not, go away and stop bothering the adults.

[MNJohnnie]

think we can all agree we want the best for America and a more conservative nation.

You got that right. ANYONE the Meirs critics DO like is head and shoulders BETTER then anyone the OTHER side would pick. Their candidate wins the 2008 primary, I will work just as hard for their guy as I have the last 20 years worked for my picks. That's probably why this is so bloody, fights INSIDE the family usually are the worst

[cardinal4]

Maybe we should actually find OUT somethings before freaking out.

Absolutely...

[Howlin]

But now he many not want to risk the hard line conservatives.

I will say this right here for all to see: if George Bush buckles to the hardliner malcontents, he will lose my support, period.

I'm sick tp death of all the bashing and trashing; I'm sick of a small group of people who NEVER WANTED HIM AS THE NOMINEE IN THE FIRST PLACE, wailing and moaning about everything he does.

If he lets you all run him into a corner, I'm done with him. And there sure as hell are more of "me" than there are of "you." I won't be the only one to go.
