[[Those defending the Prez's pick are beginning to remind me of C3P0 in Return of the Jedi, as Chewie strangles Lando "TRUST HIM! TRUST HIM!"]]
Typical Bush basher response. I didn't endorse the pick, but I won't react in a knee jerk fashion and start throwing bombs.
Predictions ? I think the left will start attacking her on religious grounds, and that will motivate/energize the Christian right. The fringe non-Christian right will continue to naysay, and may provide enough impetus to defeat her.
Some conservatives are power hungry and do not realize they have not achieved the iron-fisted majority, fillibuster proof (if you will), necessary to simply walk over the left and impose their will without paying a political price. Tactical strategy will always be more successful than brute force in the current political climate with the biased pandering of the old media (they have not been made irrelevant, yet). Patience is a virtue in politics, as well as life.
Check! Mate in two.

They're going fast!
Well said!
Quite possibly George W. Bush, and he may be putting the fox in the democrat judicial hen house.
WE HAVE A WINNER!
My guess is if she is a genuine biblical based Christian, she will be attacked like none has been before.
WOW! That is very astute discernment!
2000 years later, the "true believers" are also the shrillest and most willing to lead the angry mob...
Gee, I guess that takes Ann Coulter out of the running.
Without a doubt. I wouldn't expect anything less from the secular left.
"Gee, I guess that takes Ann Coulter out of the running."
Are you serious? Did you actually read what I wrote? My whole point was that "She's an evangelical" is not SUFFICIENT in and of itself to prove that she's a judicial conservative (as many are making it out to be). Ann Coulter is well known for her conservative views (particularly when it comes to the courts), so your argument is totally disingenuous.
Well, she is unmarried also without children, as some have suggested, this should be the only reason Harriet Miers is gay and should not be considered, because being "unmarried" or "childless" denotes homosexuality and unqualified characteristics in many FReepers yardsticks when measuring up a nominee.
When I first saw that comment, I thought the same thing. Good response! : )
