She was a conservative Democrat and in Texas at that time there weren't too many Repub.
Eaker, God bless you my brother. It ain't worth getting into a snit about. We all have our opinions, I thank you for considering mine, as I have yours. All the best...
Don't overlook, in some places we'd all be dead after criticizing our wonderful government like this, so we should all be thankful that we can disagree with one another, yes?
If Bush had selected Charles Schumer for the seat there are some here who would defend it saying, "He must know something we don't."
Miers today doesn't trouble me nearly as much as what Miers shows every indication of becoming tomorrow: a roll-over liberal appeasing O'Connor clone.
Bush was going to have to fight this battle anyway. If he was determined to name a woman, he should have named Janice Rogers-Brown and let the Democrats beat themselves bloody against her nomination. America would have noticed the grave hypocrisy of the attacks and the Democrats would have paid for it in next year's elections.
And if the Democrats had succeeded in filibustering Rogers-Brown? Then Bush still could have nominated Miers.
He allowed the Democrats to avoid a vigorous self-bashing. Why?

I LIKE IT!!!!!
I'd do the same thing... which is why I'll never be President. That and the ugh... other stuff,
Very funny and well done!
There is nothing like a family fight on FR.
Much like law enforcement hates to go on a domestic call, I am sure the Mods have had a busy day with this food-fight.
Splendid points-- clearly he could've done a lot better than Ms. Miers.
I'll take your word for it that Alice is the real deal. Sounds good to me.
That was really nasty for you to say since we all worked to get him elected and re-elected. Bush-bots can't stand any criticism of the man. I think it's ridiculous. He's a man, not a superhero.
I have to trust the President's personal knowledge of her qualifications and am willing to do that. I'm looking forward to the senate judiciary committee nomination hearing and Ms. Meirs' responses regarding her position on the different issues.
"At 8:15 am the President is going to announce he will officially switch to the Democrat Party."
"Yep! He might as well."
Hell I thought he already did.lol Maybe he did awhile ago and we just didn't want to see the signs
medicare, spending, supreme court nominee...i could go on.
But we are supposed to TRUST BUSH. ( I must admit..my faith is vacillating)
We can disagree, yes.
We can hottly debate and keep each other's respect.
I dislike it when a FReeper as above denigrates another with nothing to add to the debate. I dislike statements like this that would have never been made in person.
The good news is that we are debating ways to make this country better and not to tear it down like the otherside.
The assertion lacks specificity.
What is her interpretation of the 2nd amendment? 5th amendment takings? How big is the emanation of the privacy penumbra?
Let's see: Scalia, Thomas, Breyer, Kennedy, and Souter are healthy and show every indication of lasting another decade or more. That leaves Stevens and Ginsburg. Neither Stevens nor Ginsburg is likely to retire knowing that Bush would get to select their replacement. I just don't see that happening.
"Her white house nomination statement regarding her strict application of the Constitution and rule of law are comforting."
That's just talk. Talk is cheap. Whether or not she'll adhere to the Constitution is yet to be seen.
