I can infer and I hear you.
I hope my tag line reads "I was wrong about Miers" for the next 40 years, and you - all of you ;-) - make fun of me on every thread. Ignore handy...he was worried about Miers!!!
I just thought we were gonna get a Luttig, etc. I'm trying to shake the feeling that I've been had, and no amount trust me has done the trick so far. I didn't defend the pick @ work today and the libs were shocked. I just can't fight for (to me) such an unknown. Color me funked out.
"I just thought we were gonna get a Luttig, etc."
I really do understand that. And the question is "Why did Pres. Bush not choose such a person?" In my opininon, his father's poor choice has really forced him to make sure he knows the person's heart. Today, at the press conference, that seemed foremost on his mind. I really believe he does not want another botched selection like his father. So how does he avoid it? By picking someone who may not be a "scholar," but he personally knows their guiding values. Values, that in his mind, will not be shaken in an ego driven city. I believe he has determined that even conservatives suffer the problem of ego. I really think he believes she is the kind of person who will humbly execute a judicial temperment that is not ego driven. We are what we love, not what we know.
I'm right there with you -- and I took a fair amount of heat here for my support of John Roberts
