If people aren't happy with the nomination, that's fine... it would be nice if people could express it without sounding like they belong in an insane asylum, though.
This is third world cronyism. The lady has never even been a judge.
He probably knows her.
References?
By the way, Miers has made cash contributions to Lloyd Benson, Al Gore, and the DNC. Maybe you need to spend less time drinking the White House Kool-aid and more time doing research.
Now there's a good reason to oppose someone - she's isn't pretty enough.
New title , same article
Bush Chooses Miers for Supreme Court
from
Bush Taps Harriet Miers for High Court
??????????????????????
I guess Chuckie Schumer is a conservative now.
This might have slightly nudged the court to the right. If anything, it might be dead center where it was before.
The 3rd pick will be the tie-break.
If this woman is to the right of O'Connor, then the Pres. has played smart politics.
Now we need Stevens to take a dive for the team.
Try the article you are commenting on! You are just making things up as you go along, obviously, knowing nothing about the subject you are commenting on.
I'm starting to change my mind - if the liars and idiots are against her like this she must be a good nominee.
You would be just as likely in having DU sound like a board of freedom and light.
And he could nominate someone to the right of Rush Limbaugh and people on the right would find something to b*tch about. Since political pundits seem to get almost nothing right in either long term predictions or short term analysis, I've long since ignored anything they say. And since loudmouths on the left and the right seem to be only happy when they are competing to see who can describe the darkest doom and gloom, I can happily ignore them too. Frankly, I trust the President. His cabinet indicates his ability to judge character. Men like Rumsfeld and Cheney and women like Rice and Hughes tell me more about his insight than chronic whiners on the T.V. and internet.
Yes, just now logging on, and seeing a lot of anti's. I know practically nothing about this woman, but hoping to read more than just these anti- comments that don't list reasons why they're anti. One suspects there's a bit of bandwagon-ism here.
Stabbed in the back? more like right in the gut.
The handwriting is on the wall.
The Repubican Party leadership no longer reflects the views of its constituency, while the Democrat Pary does.
Conservatives need to leave the Republican Party to people like Chaffee, Snowe, McCain et al and reconstituent themselves as new political force which more clearly represents an anti-liberal, pro-traditional value, pro-strict constructionist and original intent political philosophy.
There was a quotation from a spokesman on another thread.
I am not terribly concerned about contributions almost twenty years ago. Bush I was not a great favorite with many conservatives in any case so not supporting him shouldn't bother you too much.
Since the President knows far more about her than you or Katie Couric I think I will go with him instead of you two.
There is no requirement that a USSC Justice needs to have been a judge.
James Wilson, the first USSC Justice, had no prior judicial experience. There have been many justices who were not judges. It's a good thing in my book, not a bad thing.
I find it more disturbing that we even have to have this debate upon whether we like the candidate. There are plenty of obvious, brilliant, well qualified and EXPERIENCED candidates. Why are we given a stealth candidate, and we get a maybe good=maybe bad. Dissapointing.
