“Imagine if we had gotten Harriet Miers instead of Sam Alito? God knows what He’s doing.”
I’ve been thinking the same over the past two years. Sam Alito is a national hero, a great patriot who delivered a majority opinion for the ages — striking a blow for the rule of law, for the Constitution of the United States as it’s written. And, to think, we almost got a hack like Harriet Miers instead. Thank God for the likes of Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham who screamed bloody murder and derailed the Miers nomination. They changed the course of American history... and ultimately saved lives.
What if the Turtle had folded and we got Merrett Garland?? Judges is the only thing he has done right!!!
Levin said there was nothing anyone could do, and I said that wasn't true. I said we could get prominent voices to appeal to Miers to withdraw her name from consideration.
That is eventually what happened.
