Anne doesn't pull punches does she?

And in this case, she's not wrong.

And in this case, she's not wrong.

In "Roberts" case she wasn't wrong either.

Am I the only one who noticed that when introducing her, President Bush didn't use the term "...exceptionally well qualified to sit on the Highest Court of our nation." He said she was "...exceptionally well suited to sit on the Highest Court of our nation." Admission that only non-entities can make it past the Democrats in Congress? Or that the Supreme Court is not worth a fight?

[saganite]

Anne is never wrong!

[LauraJean]

for this we worked to get a Republican in office? Why is Bush doing this to us?

Well, with this pick Bush has totally disarmed most of the upcoming liberal dissent, as it is now confirmed that Meier is not a right-winger. She doesn't even have the support of freepers....eee-ghads!

I'm reading all of this and shaking my head. Bush nominated her based on what he knows about her, and possibly some discussions they've had. I'd wager that he knows more about her than any journalist, member of congress, propagandist or forum contributor. I'm puzzled by the unending parade of Chicken Littles in freeperland, because I believe they're missing the point:

A judge will judge matters. They don't have to be seeking the adulation and confirmation that all the above citizens must. They must just exercise good, constitutional judgement. If Bush wants her, there's a good reason why.
