The idea that Bush might nominate Miers to the high court did not spark immediate enthusiasm from one conservative lega scholar, John Eastman of the Claremont Institute.
'If he wants to give her judical experience, why doesn't he nominate her to the Fifth Circut Court of Appeals.?' Eastman is a former Law clerk to Justice Thomas.

I know that she was recommended highly by Harry Reid.
What do you think about that?
Bush's approval ratings will stay the same. You guys really think you run everything, don't ya?
I think you discovered a bushism...
"Abominomination"!
Another Souter. Bush #1 said the same thing about him.
The Democrats were loony from FDR onwards. LBJ just solidifed the idiocy that FDR and Truman began, especially when it came to communism.
Reagan was a Democrat when FDR was implementing the New Deal.
Her contributions don't necessarily mean she was a democrat. The firm where she was a partner was likely just trying to curry favor with both parties.
she also gave to the Bush campaign, the Bush recount fund, Republican party, etc.
however, I do think she's a terrible pick.
Excellent thinking, Mo. Worth a repeat!
Picking a nominee isn't about shoring up the base
A nomination is about picking a person that will follow the Constitution
If a nominee follows the Constitution ... what is there to fear?
Blame it on the media. The Republicans are afraid of the liberal media and it's ability to brainwash
--->> Thus you have Meirs and be thankful for her. She's as good as us peasants will get right now
She also donated money to BILL CLINTON.
Not everyone is a Souter
I'm not saying she shouldn't be looked into
I'm just saying .. give a chance before you dump the Doom and Gloom the world is over
Conservatives have a bad habit of doing this .. the media eats it up and then we end up having a bigger battle then before we started
She gave money to BILL CLINTON to defeat GWHB, from her home state.
Sure it makes sense. GWBush poll numbers are down and the MSM is an arm of the Donks. Will spin anti Bush every time. If it wasn't Meijers it would be her clone. That's as good as it gets these days
What does W care about poll numbers? He can't run again.
The best thing about a second term is not having to worry about popularity. W should only be constrained by his conscience.
I'm tired of using the MSM as an excuse for not having the spine to stand up for convictions. Reagan had a leftist media as well, and he somehow managed to accomplish some conservative goals from time to time.
I have yet to come across any evidence she is a conservative or a strict constitutionalist. Sorry but just because GW thinks highly of her does not mean I should.
I believe the White House has admitted she used to be a Democrat.
Reid suggested her name along with others ... THAT must be it! Reid dictates to POTUS. /sarcasm
Reid also said nice things about Roberts, then voted against him.
I don't know much about the firm she worked for
But my experience with law firms are that they usually try to win for their clients .. that is what they get paid to do
They don't get paid to be nice
Scotty speaking now on FNC. He's no Ari.
I'd say half the Freepers here were once Dems till Reagan come along
Heck .. there are a number who were Dems till 90's
