Conservatives Say Miers Is Obstacle to Judicial Nominees
HumanEventsonline {Blog} ^ | May 8, 2006 | Robert B. Bluey

White House Counsel Harriet Miers, the Supreme Court nominee who withdrew after a conservative revolt last fall, has allegedly vetoed several recommendations offered by conservatives to fill vacancies on federal courts.

The White House would not directly respond to the charge, which was made this morning during a conference call with more than 40 conservative leaders.

Now we're on to the name calling and foot stamping that have come to characterize your postings.

Unlike you, I'm not two-faced; I don't like it from EITHER SIDE. I'm not willing to accept smears from my party just because they are MY PARTY.

Like I said, it's telling you will.

It is a legitimate news story.

It is a news story in the same way the bilge from Capitol Hill Blue is a news story.

You know, quoting anonymous sources that Bush said the Constitution is "nothing but a gd piece of paper!"

Stuff like that.

Boy, Sink. When you hop on that old nag and grab its mane and sink your spurs into its side, it really just takes off...like your hyperbole. As Clarity used to say: you need rest.

"Like I said, it's telling you will."

Huh? Like I said, it's telling you will. Hmmmm.

You don't like it from either side, so does that mean you like it from no side?

I remember when people on FR actually use to HATE that, but now that they've got a few "whisperers" saying what they want, it's fine and dandy.

I seldom say what I want to say.
I don't want to be banned.

I missed that one. Did it have a happy ending?

"Vetting nominees is her job."

Blocking otherwise qualified conservatives isn't.

all that clap trap about projecting is called psychobabble. I'm sure you're good at it. Project that.

No we can't.

But I find it hypocritical that the same people who were giddy over Roberts bash Miers...the very person who recommended him.

Do you believe two anonymous sources? Name two or three liberal candidates Bush has nominated.
