And if you voted for President Bush both times, like I did, or just one time, then you have to trust that he will keep his promise on Judges, like he has so faithfully kept it to this point. There hasn’t been one single Judge on the district, appellate or federal court level that Bush has nominated that hasn’t been a strong unbending conservative.
Appointing Supreme Court judges was the cornerstone of GW's 2004 campaign. He told us over and over again the importance of finding judges who were strict constructionist - as he said “somebody who looks at the words of the Constitution for what they are, somebody who will not legislate from the bench,” which means that a constructionist judge will adhere to the meaning of the words in the Constitution the same way as it was originally intended – no room for spinning. All along GW has made good on his promise by nominating conservatives judges and he hasn't failed, so why doubt him now?
What's the point of getting a monumental judge who would put up an extraordinary fight leaving Democrats speechless due to his magnificent answers while we conservatives clamor and cheer patting ourselves on the back only to see him defeated?
After all, as the President he gets to pick who he thinks is qualified to do the job, because he knows her better than the critics and better than us. And she'll go through the Senate confirmation hearings, and we we'll get to trash her some more. But she'll be confirmed, and therein lies the difference between a monumental judge and Harriet Miers.
Great post! Thanks for the ping.
Thank you. That was my whole point in posting this thread. I have no interest in getting into a "I'm more conservative and been a Freeper longer than you" argument like has been the case with a couple on here. I thought it was possible to disagree on ONE THING with other adult conservatives here, without it being a name calling insult string of posts. Through all the name calling and insults, those opposed to Miers still haven't given me any of the explainations I was looking for and asked for. I don't know which I'm more disappointed in. The fact that some conservatives are so willing to turn on their own when they don't get something they want, or the fact that some of the posts by two of the people her are what I'd expect if I was still in middle school, not on a conservative Blog like FR is. Very disappointing.
