Count Ann Coulter among the conservatives who are unhappy with President Bushs nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.
Asked by NewsMax.com if she considers Miers to be what she had called John Roberts after his nomination - a "tabula rasa - Coulter, whos now out with the paperback edition of her best-seller "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), said:
"No. Shes something new: a complete mediocrity.
Ouch.
And you'll sell it out still hanging on to a sliver of hope that things aren't really as they seem. What's the difference. The end result is still the same.
Why should that bother anyone? It certainly didn't bother the founders.
Putting someone with her experience on SCOTUS is about on par with McDonalds promoting a store manager to CEO.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
By the way, CJ John Marshall was not a judge either. Him and about 40 others give or take a few.
There needs to be a new Republican classification called Knee Jerk Republicans and you need to join. You don't know squat about how Roberts will run the Supreme Court and yet you lambast him. Thank God someone like you isn't in charge of selecting Dog Catcher.
Well, I mean, let's face it, there was no US Justice system before 1789. We should have appointed Tory judges?
No kidding. Guess those of us who tend to trust that the President made a good decision with Harriet Miers may as well be dismissed and treated as loyal midgets.
Okay, but at least they held some important Judicial post prior to being nominated. Rehnquist clerked for a Justice, and he was #2 at the Justice Department. The most Miers can claim is that she was president of the Texas Bar and the President's personal lawyer. That's hardly on the same level.
I came to the conclusion quite a while back that FReeper women tend to be a bit more socially moderate than the men and also lean more to Bushbotism.
But, ....they are not all BIMBOs.
and yes, there are exceptions...some FReeperettes are serious culture warriors
and some are sadly....bimbos..lol
True, but they never saw fit to amend it nor have any Congress since. Smart move.
When you let your spite put Hillary in office you will never have another chance to change things. Maybe W isn't what you hoped he would be, but right now the dems are losing and about to become irrelevant. You and your ilk are making them relevant again.
Why would the Senate dems trash a woman who was on Harry Reid's "approved" list?
Sort of like you trusted him to fight affirmative action, guard the borders and hold down federal spending.
BushBots crack me up.
Can't imagine that you are correct. I'm twenty years younger than this nominee and became a conservative before her and I would expect that if I was running for office and it was discovered that I voted for Walter Mondale over Ronald Reagan, as I did, that conservatives would be suspicious of me...it would be prudent for them to be suspicious.
This nominee was older back then than I am now and contributed big dollars five days before election day to the DNC on behalf of Michael Dukakis in the final push to take the White House. Dukakis was a flake that no one who was 47 years old and had a clue would possibly vote for, much less contribute to.
I'm like you. I wish Kerry would have won. /sarcasm
I'll never vote 3rd party. I'll never sit it out. But, you can bet there are many, many who will. And have for less than this.
for this we worked to get a Republican in office? Why is Bush doing this to us?
Could FEMA have done that? If so, is it too late to do so? '-)
If she'd had her way, Dukakis would have won.
