Anne doesn't pull punches does she?
In that she is in keeping with many of this administrations other appointments.
Maybe now all the guys around here (and they are ALL guys) who think AC is such a great pundit will finally realize she's just a bimbo with some snappy patter.
Her column about this as always should be interesting.
You KNOW where she stands, she pulls no punches, if proven wrong she ADMITS it and.....she is a BABE!!
Well since Anne didn't like Roberts it's no surprise she doesn't like Miers.
I think she was wrong about Roberts, but I think she's right about Miers. Let's not forget that Ann is a lawyer, and her columns show (to my mind at least) an acute legal understanding.
Gee what a surprise...Anne doesn't approve...I am shocked, just shocked..
A woman who contributes a large sum of money to the DNC five days before the Dukakis/Bush election is not "mediocrity".
Ji Robinson put together a website and a political movement that ha at it very core value, 'It's about the Supreme Court Justices".
The movement, this website has been had, and is a spent force. We've been had, it's over, there is no future as we hoped for it to be. It hurts, but that's the truth.
The Judicial Tyranny has just begun.
This nominee is shaping up to be someone nobody knows, nobody likes and yet totally unstoppable. This will prove to be either the shrewdest or the lamest political decision of this presidency. I'm betting (hoping?) on the former.
Has anyone noticed that Ann has showing almost the identical symptoms as Pat Buchanan did before he went totally 'loco' (and also irrelevant)...
Ok Ann. It is about time to get to a few truths.
One...you have let your popularity go to your head.
Two...you are too damn skinny and you arent nearly as pretty as some people think you are.
I believe one has been broken here.
Perhaps some one would be so kind as to post the requsite picture
If Ann Coulter wasn't so pretty, I would let her have it!
I see Ann is engaging in her perogative to be derogative in order to maintain the fiction that you have to have some sort of lawyerly qualifications to serve as a judge.
Tired of the carp already. Qualifications don't mean jack, what's her temperament? Has she got Thatcherlike spinal qualities and does she want to uphold the constitution as written, rather than as imagined by so many "qualified" jurists?
"Even if he was mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they, and a little chance? We can't have all Brandeises and Cardozos and Frankfurters and stuff like that there."
Fast forward 25 years, insert Scalias, Rhenquists, and Thomases for Brandeises and Cardozos and Frankfurters, and she's nailed it. Miers is the Carswell memorial nominee.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Miss Coulter agrees with Mark Levin, Michael Savage and other Conservatives who, unlike the President, are asking, "Is this the very, very best candidate for the Supreme Court?" Not "a decent candidate." Not, "an acceptable candidate." But the "very, very best candidate."
Clearly, Bush is playing poker, believing he has a semi-stealth candidate who will be as true to Conservative ideology as a Brown, an Owen, or an Estrada. And, to him, there is the added benefit of a reduced battle to get her approved. We've already heard the likes of Schumer and Reid being very non-inflammatory in their analysis of the nominee. For them, that is tantamount to high praise.
I, for one, don't want a mediocre candidate who is likely to be approved rather easily (after the dems do their usual "appeal to their base" dance, which is unavoidable unless Bush chooses Hillary Clinton for the Court.) I want a solid Conservative who will challenge the left's assertion that being a solid conservative is somehow "out of the mainstream."
If not wanting to murder a baby ten seconds before it is delivered puts us out of the mainstream, then I don't want to be in the mainstream.
If my 12-year old daughter can get an abortion without my permission (but can't get an aspirin from the school nurse) then I am out of the mainstream.
If I can't keep a gun in my home to protect my family from robbers, looters, rapists, and murderers, then I am out of the mainstream.
If I believe that The Constitution, as written by our Founding Fathers, is a binding document whose canons should and must be the basis for all legal rulings, then I am out of the mainstream.
As Mark Levin says, "We shouldn't shrink from having this argument with the libs, for once and for all. We are right and they are wrong." And the majority of Americans agree with us. A majority can't be "out of the mainstream." That's an oxymoron.
