Actually, a lot of the FF were lawyers. 35 to be exact.
'The delegates practiced a wide range of occupations, and many pursued more than one career simultaneously. Thirty-five were lawyers or had benefited from legal training, though not all of them relied on the profession for a livelihood. Some had also become judges.'
Even worse this lady use to be a Democrat who backed Gore. And I can't remember which Democrat came out and said this but this particular individual did praise Bush for not picking an extremist but a moderate. When you use the word 'moderate' and if you get a Democrat to support them, then there is trouble. Big trouble. An extremist would be someone who supports the Constitution. You see Libs want to say we have an agenda when it is they, they who legislate from the bench and use the SC as an oligarchy. We just want to get back to the basics of the nation. We are the ones who respect this countries foundations and they are the ones who want impregnate America with Marxism. And that sadly has been done. This was their last bastion of power, the SC. Bush passed up the chance of a life time to fight it out with the Socialist of the country but instead he capitulated like a loser.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Founding_Fathers_of_the_United_StatesMy original comment wasn't about Ms. Miers, but about Ms. Coulter desire to maintain the fiction that one must be a lawyer (and super duper legal beagle at that) in order to serve on SCOTUS.
There are many fine citizens who could serve, not just Harriet Miers and by continuing to appoint lawyers and only lawyers to the courts we have put the foxes in charge of the hen house.
Zell Miller was a democrat once too, as was Ronald Reagan and most of citizens of the southern states as well at one time.
Did you know Mary Magdelene was a whore once? And the Apostle Paul persecuted Christians to their death? People change, the world changes. Only the truth remains unchanged.
I will withhold judgement on Ms Miers until I have had time to actually study her previous work and writing.
