It's Amazing... (vanity)

It’s amazing to see (some) of us are eagerly waiting for ABA to release their ratings on Miers, while we opposed the use of the ratings on judicial selection before…

It’s amazing to see (some) of us are cheering when Bush said he didn’t look at polls… but now we use his low numbers on the polls to persuade him to change his mind…

It’s amazing to see (some) of us are okay with 2 Republican Senators demanding documents from WH… while only couple months ago we argued against giving similar documents based on Executive Privilege…

It’s amazing to see how NYT, WaPo, and other MSM outlets become reliable sources on Miers nomination, while we kept blasting them as, well, unreliable sources…

Now, I’m still agnostic on Miers’ nomination. No doubt, some of us also found that Bush nominated Miers is amazing...

Ms. Meiers prepped John Roberts for his nomination hearings and suddenly she's a dope, she didn't go to the right schools, she's not married, she wears funny clothes, Rush Limbaugh doesn't like her, George Will hates her, the vetting expert Mark Levin disses and dismisses her, Ann Coulter trashes the woman mercilessly......and they say we folks out here in the real world just don't get it????????

I don't argue for ending the discussion and accept Miers without any questions. IMO, we can make argument against Miers without taking those options above...

I see that the nominee meets the strict requirements for the office. If she doesn't make it through the hearing she wouldn't be the first. If she does make it, I can only hope she has the capability of deep understanding and decides questions well. Apparently she could use practice expressing herself in writing, so she should come on FR for a couple of years.

I really think that someone who has been on the forum since May and talks in all caps like a hoodie, who feels they have standing to suggest a Freeper of over seven years belongs on DU, belongs on DU.

YOU MUST THINK W IS REALLY STUPID

W is not really stupid, but he made a stupid pick. To recognize that doesn't mean you belong on DU.

The White House should be listening to the loud voices of their base and those that helped put them in office. That they can't or don't hear is their problem, not mine.

It's amazing that you don't see this for what it is: The exit strategery for Miers' nomination.
