Anyone want to claim this isn't yet another red flag?

It's not another red flag. :)

[The Red Zone]

A 1989 city ordinance prohibited Dallas government from buying goods that originated in South Africa or conducting business with firms that sold goods or services there for use by the police, military or prison system.

"As she goes through this nomination process, something like that should cheer the liberals and lead to gnashing of teeth among the very conservative social conservative," said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University, Miers' alma mater. "Hers was the appropriate moderate Republican position of the day, but beating up on South Africa wasn't a way to win friends with conservatives."

Why oh why do most of the people who got all exercised over South Africa, turn a blind eye to China?

If Miers' supports affirmative action in any way, shape, or form--it MOST CERTAINLY IS a red flag! I hope she is not confirmed.

[pollywog]

not another red flag.

[Miklos Szeles]

Perhaps if the Republican Senators had stood up for any of Bush's nominees, the filibustered ones that is, he wouldn't be in the position of not being able to appoint a known quantity. I don't know if Miers is a good choice or not, but I am disappointed that the Republicans have allowed the minority party to dictate the terms of this fight.

[dc-zoo]

Yes I agree it's not another red flag.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

I thought Bush was still President, not Hillary.

You should have seen the video smuggled out of LAFD. The female recruits couldn't even pull the hoses over a 6' wall.

And what did those PC SOBs do. They went after those that smuggle the vidoe out. It was pathetic. 90 pounds of gear etc and they were basically helpless. It was a joke.

Who in the F**k do you want showing up at your home when it's on fire? A 120 pound female, or someone that can do the damn job?

[Mount Athos]

Please kick the plug on this abomination of a nomination.

Bush, withdraw your nomination, and give us another one.
If conservatives don't fight now we'll never be taken seriously again.

Are you serious?

You're against equal rights?

[wardaddy]

oh great

more inspiring revelations....

[stockstrader]

Again, if Miers' supports affirmative action in any way, shape, or form,,,,I hope she is NOT confirmed. There are WAY TOO many red flags for her to be confirmed.

If she is confirmed, we will be getting just another Sandra Day O'Connor.

[little jeremiah]

I got as far as this steaming pile:

"Miers was one of 10 Dallas council members to unanimously approve a 1989 agenda item that revised minimum height, weight and vision requirements for Dallas firefighters to facilitate "promotion of certain ranks in the Fire Department," particularly women."

Total garbage.

Great - SHE knows better than longtime lifesaving professionals what requirements are needed to fight fires and save lives. After all - she's ELECTED to the City Council, and that makes her smarter than everyone else! It's roughly the same as winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, right?

Not only that, she's participated in such essential tasks a MAKING RESOLUTIONS on national and international political situations. She has to do that - since she's ELECTED, she has to give her all-important voice to all matters, great and small, no matter what the jurisdiction!

That's just the kind of gal I want on the Supreme Court, alright!

[Concentrate]

I always said that Bush would promote Liberals to the Scotus. Seems I'm right. Now what? abortion is a sacrement now. We're SO pathetic that we'll lose the entire country before we even consider any restrictions. I give up. Here and now.

[Irish Eyes]

Anyone want to claim this isn't yet another red flag?

YUP..I'll claim it.

[rwfromkansas]

The record there is not worrisome at all aside from the so-called affirmative action one.

And really, that is not something to get riled up about, either. It just altered regulations to allow more women on the force.

[Republican Wildcat]

Your falsification of the headline has been reported.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

I'm starting to get confused, did President Bush say he was Pro-Life or Pro-Lie?
