Dear Mr. President,
I never imagined a day would come when I would disavow a Republican President, but that day is here. With your selection of Harriet Miers today, you have betrayed your word, you have betrayed me and you have betrayed every social conservative who ever worked on your behalf.
This was a historic opportunity for you to deliver on your campaign promises and finally give us a nominee in the vein of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Instead you fumbled. We know Michael Luttig, Edith Hollan Jones, or Janice Rogers Brown are reliably conservative. We have no such assurance with Harriet Miers. All we can do is read the tea leaves and pray for the best. With the abundance of highly qualified conservatives, your decision to roll the dice is, with all respect, inexcusable.
Despite misgivings, I have supported you through the increasing debacle in Iraq and the mushrooming federal deficit. The one and only thing I hoped for in return was a staunchly conservative Supreme Court nominee, as you promised. Like your father with his "no new taxes" pledge you have turned your back on your most reliable supporters. It breaks my heart to say so, but since you seem so interested in the approval of the Democratic party, let Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton carry your banner from now on. Regretfully, I will no longer provide time, money, or support to you or your administration.
Respectfully,
Frank Katz
I never did get around to welcoming you to Free Republic.
One post later...
... and I still haven't.
Vanity post. Belongs in chat forum.
lol
Don't you think it might be a good idea to wait until Miers renders a couple of decisions on the U.S. Supreme Court before you start pitching people overboard?
Sincerely,

You do not speak for me.
Hmmmmm.............
Let's not get too hasty. She may be the F-117 Stealth Fighter of a nominee. We cant jerk our knees so fast that they come out of joint. That can be very painfull! I don't like the taste of crow, humble pie, or my own words, either............
What is a "Frank Katz" and why should anyone care?
Too soon to know how the Justice will decide issues. Dubya tends to not care about politics so much as expertise. This nominee is already one in a thousand.
So long Frank... your rant has no legs.
I wonder if Frank likes Katz? or Cheese?
I plan to wait and see what she says. I believe Vice President Cheney when he told Rush Limbaugh that the conservatives need not worry about this appointee. Give her a chance. She hasn't even come before the committee as yet.
LMFAO!!! Love it!
You come to eat these sour words:
!) Any idea that she is a liberal, female David Souter is bull shit.
2) Since we really don't own the Senate as we would like ( Collins Snow, Chaffee Spector DeWine Voinivich Hagel mccain) Lindsissy graham etc
3) If the rats held tough and any combo of these people adding up to six stabbed us in to back we lose and are embarrassed
4) Yes she contributed to rats but that was when she was the head of a law firm. Lets see if gave to GOP as well.
5) She is an EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN WHO TAKES THE BIBLE LITERALLY THAT MEANS WHAT ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY? WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT HER POSITION ON ABORTION?
6) A MEMBER OF HER CHURCH SAID SHE LOOKS AT THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BIBLE THE SAME WAY.
7) She tried to get the national ABA to change its position from pro abortion to neutral.
I trust Bush I believe he knows more about her than I do. Fighting fights that you can lose to get 100% as opposed to fighting one we can win and get 85% appeals to me.
An Opus?
Haven't had one of those in a while.
Aren't you the guy who posted the pictures implying Miers looks like a twin of Helen Thomas?
