I agree with you, Roberts had his share of naysayers in the beginning as well, now he is Chief justice. I trust W on Miers.
I WANT to trust him. I'm not sure. Roberts SEEMS OK, but we won't know until he's got some court decisions under his belt. I don't trust this Miers woman and I'm not sure whether I can trust Bush on this.
Unless I see something concrete showing I should not, I will trust the President on this, too. As for her appearance, frankly, I am just as happy with someone who is not too attractive on the bench. I certainly don't see any reason why appearance should matter.
Miers has been close to Bush for quite some time. Unless you believe President Bush is not conservative enough, I see no reason not to trust him.
"I agree with you, Roberts had his share of naysayers in the beginning as well, now he is Chief justice. I trust W on Miers."
You know nothing about how Roberts will carry out his duties. All you have is conjecture about him, so don't act like we are all happy about him now.
I agree with you.
From the response by many on this forum you would think we had a say in who President Nominated. Hey people, get a clue, we do not have a voice. (This is not directed at you Pondman)
The only choice we had as to who would be selected for the next opening was who we voted for to be President.
The choice then was between Bush and Kerry. I went with Bush. For all you that are unhappy with President Bush's choice, do you really think Kerry's choice would have made you happy?
And for all you who believe any President is going to nominate a exteme conservative, wake up and smell the coffee.
The best we could have hoped for is a "moderate". I am comforatable that President Bush would not nominate an extreme lefty, but beings how I am to the right of Bush, it is possible that this nominee is to the left of me. I will live with it.
I am not a one issue person, which is the one characteristic of both the extreme left and extreme right, and perhaps why both extremes seem to be in a constant state of turmoil. Me, I will wait to know more, and accept what ever happens.
The Supreme Court is important, but earning a living is more so, and so I will end this and go to work.
Have fun guys, but remember, nothing you have to say will matter to anyone.
