Nonsense. They aren't opposed to her because they are anti-Christian. They just don't trust Bush.
This candidate comes with the most thin qualifications imaginable and a whole host of people saying "trust me" which is NOT the way to elevate any person to SCOTUS.
I don't care if she will eventually become the greatest jurist ever to have lived, she has no business being the nominee. She's most certainly not the MOST QUALIFIED, regardless of Bush's claim yesterday.
You're a little too sensitive on playing this anti-Christian card.
AMEN! I am sick of all the whining.
Oh, ok, I feel better now.........yeah.
Stop cryin that they won't support anything Bush does no matter how stupid.
IS SHE CONSERVATIVE OR NOT?? We shouldn't even have to ask that question. Nor should we have to wait and see, according to his campaign promise.

Moderator please move to chat.
It goes beyond that. It sets horrible precedent of low qualification and verifiability. If Clinton had named Cheryl Mills or Lanny Davis the Bushbots would not be deluded by Kool-Aid and throw a fit.
George Will rightly points out Bush was asked if McCain-Feingold was unConstitution in his view. He said it was. And he still signed it. Brown, Bernie Kerrick, Julie Myers, Norman Mineta... not exactly appointments that inspire confidence. Let's not dwell on border control, hog-wild spending and other reasons to question this President's judgment.
"You're" should be "your".
"Would Bill Kristol, Bill Bennett, Ann Coulter, Mike Savage, Mark Levin, And Laura Ingraham, And George Will, Please, Stop Crying Over Miers Nomination?"
I'm sorry but when this particular group of people talk, I tend to listen. If they are concerned, I am concerned. Of course, I am the typical neanderthal, right wing reactionary that these people normally speak for.
Recently there have many issues that have divided conservatives, Terri Schaivo, for example. A lot of the divisive issues have emanated straight from the office of the President, immigration and federal spending being the two most notable issues. Why would we need this latest bomb thrown in our midst?
Harriet Miers: "I'm not really a Justice of the Supreme Court, but I did stay at a Holiday Express last night."
Congratulations on feeding into the MSM's negative image of the term "religious right."
Imagine the frustration of the likes of the above mentioned. The President didn't take their views into consideration when he chose this nominee.
They were attacking the nomination of Roberts too.
Crying, whining, attacking......boo hoo. Enough already!
She may not be the firebrand many conservatives wanted, but truly, why would a firebrand be more suitable? Is it because WE want someone to fight? What good will that really do, other than make US feel more validated? I just want someone who will bring some common sense back to the Supremes. They've been out in the legal wilderness for too long.
I'd love to know if the author of this spellbinding vanity thread believes that Robert Bork suddenly acquired a keener insight into the Constitution, or a more penetrating intellect, or a firmer grasp of the fundamental, underlying tenets of judicial precedent, after he converted to Roman Catholicism.
Conversely, I wonder if he thinks that Judge Bork was any less of a brilliant legal scholar when he led a relatively secular life.
Whoah, good to know!
That's BS. She's clearly qualified. You don't have to be a Constitutional scholar to be a Supreme Court Justice. In fact, Constitutional scholars have done more damage than good to the Constitution.
As far as verifiability is concerned, that's in the eye of the beholder. I guarantee you that Bush is satisfied with her verification. It's just the pointy-headed elites who aren't. And that's why I say that it comes down to the fact that they don't trust Bush.
