Looks like we've got 'em just where they want us...

[fizziwig]

How are these different from the reactions here at FR?

[Betaille]

Here's an out-there theory. I think that Bush might be provoking them into a filibuster of a "kamikaze" candidate, so that he can then nominate a judicial conservative and they will appear hypocritical if they vote that one down also.

Some of those quotes look like they came from THIS forum.

[Mr. Mojo]

"She is anti-choice, pro-police power, weak on individual liberties, pro-big-business, and is a stealth candidate with no record to scrutinize."

lol....well, if she has no record to scrutinize then how does this poster know so much about her?

The President is living up to his pledge to be a uniter.

Both sides are united against the Harriett Miers nomination to the Supreme Court.

. The religious right will bleat in feigned outrage as they set the stage that the woman is not right enough.

My outraged bleating is not feigned.

[JewishRighter]

Well, seeing how the whackos are reacting makes me feel a lot better about this choice.

[DallasMike]

"...because this is the critical swing seat on the Court, Americans will need to know a lot more about Mier's judicial philosophy and legal background before any vote for confirmation.'' - Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

I didn't know that there was a designated swing seat. Where do Democrats get this stuff?

If by "we" you mean the white house instead of people who believe in conservatism, then you are probably correct.

[montag813]

What do people expect, that the DUmmies will applaud anyone Bush could possibly nominate? David Souter himself was denounced as "anti-choice" and "pro-big business" right out of the gate.

[tumblindice]

The ACLJ likes her.

The Kennedy/Schumer wing of the party will be painted as nutty loons representative of the liberal fringe of American society.

As opposed to painting them as they really are: socialist goons bent on destroying American society?

[alisasny]

You ought to put together a list of comments by some freepers who are now link with the left on the selection of Meirs to be fair.

Frankly these comments you posted are similar to plenty I read here today on FR.

[anniegetyourgun]

Mark my words, a female nominee will get a royal going-over - far beyond that of a male or minority nominee. Hope she's got a steel gut to endure what she's facing in the weeks ahead.

[eyespysomething]

She's an intellectual lightweight,

With an undergraduate degree in mathematics?

[brothers4thID]

{The Supreme Court is going to have to rule on whether a sitting President can be indicted when there is no House Judiciary Committee willing to vote for impeachment. The Supreme Court is going to have to issue a raft of rulings on issues stemming from the Fitzgerald indictments, the DeLay case, the entire mess of worms on K Street and in the Congress. Bush is no longer thinking about his "legacy". He's thinking about remaining a free man. This choice tells us that they know that they are guilty and are facing very serious legal consequences. Miers may be all that can keep Bush out of jail, perhaps for treason.}

That paragraph made me laugh out loud.

[linkinpunk]

Bush mentioned her work with "Exodus Ministries" who "encourage(s) ex-offenders empower them to become self-sustaining, productive, Christ-centered members of society."

Another Souter!!!!!!!

I'm leaving the party and voting for Pat Buchanan. (/sarc)

[rdcorso]

The democrats want to pick the next court member even though they aren't in power.They will complain about any nominee who isn't a pro abortion Ruth Ginsberg clone.Maybe they should try winning an election so they could be in a position to pick the next member of the court.

[TerryGale]

The Libertarian, MRM, and satyrical feminist caucuses are struggling too... See both Gonzman's SCOTUS posts for Monday, October 3, 2005:
