Note to all. World Net Daily is Pat Buchannan's "Third Party" now hard right collection of knee jerk Bush haters. I would wait to see the proof before taking anything these clowns says too seriously.
Confusion abounds because they rely on notoriously unreliable news sources like World Net Daily.
On the other hand both the Conservative Legal Group "The Federalist Society" and the the Conservative American Center for Law and Justice do NOT agree with WND's accsations. So yet again, there seems little proof to back up the Hard Right's knee jerk hate for Meirs simply because she is "Bush's choice, not ours".
This was debunked yesterday on Fox News!
Much of the information posted herein has appeared in news articles from other sources. It must be accurate, regardless of your personal opinion of Mr. Buchanan.
Dismissing valid concerns about the conservative credentials of an appointee to this very important position calls into question your judgement, not that of those individuals who do so.
Bush was elected President by a majority of Americans who were tired of the same activist Courts, rewritting the Constitution, finding "rights" never described therein while ignoring those that were clearly enumerated.
Bush should be giving the majority of Americans who put him in an office a qualified candidate that meets those criteria these Americans desire.
He is not.
He is ignoring scores of well-qualified candidates whose background in this regard is beyond question and attempting to sell the public a pig in a poke.
This is outrageous.
Ms. Myers is a nice lady, a successful attorney, a long term friend of the Bushes and an apparently successful businesswoman.
NONE of these qualifications necessarily make her an outstanding candidate for the bench, especially when compared with the qualifications of the other candidates presented as being under consideration.
Nothing new here. And the World Net Daily article distorts the record, as Freepers following these threads know.
But the headline is certainly accurate. "Confusion Abounds" in pro-life, pro-family circles.
Are you aware that Meirs would be the 1st SC Justice to have staked out a clear pro 2nd Amendment Right to Bear Arms position since 1916? That not even the Conservatives Establishment's "hero" Bork can claim that distinction? But of course all that doesn't matter because the Conservative Establishment is pissed because she is not THEIR choice and so this will be just used as another reason for the Pat Buchanan lovers to vent their Bush hate. Sorry but merely making an ACCUSATION is NOT proof of anything. That is the gutter tactics of the Hysteric Left, I expect the Right to be better then that.
I have donated to Jay Sekulow's organization from time to time. I have also donated to Gary Bauer's organization, which comes down on the opposite side. They are both good people, but do they actually KNOW something I don't know?
Jay knows the glass if half-full while Gary's sure it's half-empty :)
Really? Where did she say that?? It might make me change my mind.
In the coming days, it will become known that she is extremely pro-life. I am getting this information from decent sources. She has been actively involved in church, including working as a Sunday School teacher and doing missions work. She is very conservative. I opposed this nomination strongly yesterday, but am willing to give it a chance. It could turn out to be one of the best in the past 30 years.

Thanks. I had a private Freepmail from somebody who says he knows her, belongs to the same church, is pro-life, and can vouch for her. I don't know the Freeper in question but the message was pretty persuasive.
I had already pretty much decided to shut up on this business, having shot my bolt, because I really have no first-hand information about Miers.
From 1995 until 2000, she was chair of the Texas Lottery Commission. How Supreme!
Please. This WorldNut stuff was debunked yesterday already.
Paul Weyrich, with whom I correspond with regularly said he didn't know anything about her and that he would wait and see.
At first, I was skeptical. Hope your sources are correct. Sounds like she's to the extreme right of O'Conner.
