"Franck & Miers
[Mark R. Levin 10/03 09:50 AM]
I understand Matt's point, as he's written so eloquently about it many times. But, in truth, we already know what's going on here, and that the president, despite a magnificent farm team from which to choose a solid nominee, chose otherwise. Miers was chosen for two reasons and two reasons alone: 1. she's a she; 2. she's a long-time Bush friend. Otherwise, there's nothing to distinguish her from thousands of other lawyers. And holding a high post in the Bar, which the White House seems to be touting, is like holding a high position in any professional organization. But it reveals nothing about the nominee's judicial philosophy. There are many top officials in the Bar who I wouldn't trust to handle a fender-bender. Also, early in his term, the president singled out the Bar for its partisan agenda and excluded it from a formal role in judicial selection. The president said he would pick a candidate like Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, and he did not. We all know of outstanding individuals who fit that bill, and they were once again passed over. Even David Souter had a more compelling resume that Miers.
The president and his advisors missed a truly historic opportunity to communicate with the American people about their government, the role of all three branches of the federal system, and the proper function of the judiciary. More importantly, they have failed to help the nation return to the equipoise of our constitutional system. And the current justices whose arrogance knows no bounds will be emboldened by this selection. They will see it as affirmation of their "extra-constitutionalism." The president flinched. Some have compared have compared profligate spending to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. But no one will accuse him of FDR's boldness when it comes to the Supreme Court.
If people are disappointed, they have every reason to be."
Entire quote by Mark Levin.
Bush has bushwacked his supporters.
So now the horde of bushbots will throw Levin under the bus like Coulter, Malkin and anyone else who correctly points out that the emperor has no clothes.
It really is too bad because Mark Levin has been one of his most steadfast supporters. Hannity and Rush almost never waiver from their support of the President. It will be interesting to get their take later on.
What a shocker. The only reason the stammering fool is president is because of John F'in Kerry.
This is total BS. So far all the Antis/Perpetually P.O.ed have to rest their whines upon are political contributions almost twenty years old. Oh, and SUPPOSEDLY Harry Reid said she was acceptable.
There are few things more tiresome that listening to the whines of the KnowNothings and DU wannabees.
