WASHINGTON -- Senators beginning what ought to be a protracted and exacting scrutiny of Harriet Miers should be guided by three rules. First, it is not important that she be confirmed. Second, it might be very important that she not be. Third, the presumption -- perhaps rebuttable but certainly in need of rebutting -- should be that her nomination is not a defensible exercise of presidential discretion to which senatorial deference is due.

On this thread, conservatives have been called pitchfork carrying, trolls, purists, and that's just for starters. And we push back, and always will. If left to your likes, we'd be in permanent minority status. Have some convictions, man! Have some energy! Stop being such a downer and loser. You surrender to the Left before the battle. And, really, insult me as you and some of your friends will. It truly means nothing to me. You are a faceless person who comes on here and takes cheap shots, and really aren't deserving of all the time so many of us have committed to trying to debate you. You resort to insults time and again, as do a handful of your likes here. It's obvious to everyone.
Boy, really silenced him with your vast intellect there, didn't you cheerleader?
Honey I answered your questions. Maybe you don't like my answers. That might be it.
That's where I am too.
This thing will go to a 1000 posts, and they still wont be answered.
Certainly you meant something other than what you said, right?
Same to you.
The one less mentioned aspect of Harriet Miers is that she is a self-proclaimed and publicly-confirmed evangelical Christian. And in that respect her close relationship with the President may have pushed her to the top of the heap based in large part on her faith. So if she is lacking in most generally accepted qualifications then it's clear that the President has chosen her to be the voice of Christian convervatives on the bench.
Which would put her in direct conflict with the statist godless ideology of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
This theory will quickly be put to the test when the likes of Chuck Schumer accuses her of being a fire-breathing snake-handling fundamentalist southerner that will force prayer back in school. Look for Michael Newdow to lead the charge against her.
This probably puts me in the "trust me" crowd but I have to tell you that if she is instrumental in reversing Roe then she's done her job. To me it really is that simple.
You can freely speak from your closet, but if you want anyone to hear you, then you have to buy TV time or News Print. Maybe you can do that without spending money?
Well, they had better find other professional writing and a good amount of it, or they just might.
No, they won't be answered. But they will call names, that you can be sure of. We are elitists and Neanderthals at the same time.
Wow, you're hitting all of the Team W Cheerleaders tonight! You're persona non grata now, just like Ann!
It was Kennedy, but it really amounts to the same thing. LOL
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure that he meant that blacks didn't vote in the election directly after the civil war.
It is a moot point though, as Bush has recieved a smaller perecentage of the black vote than almost any other republican (if not the smallest) - not the highest percentage that was earlier claimed.
Seems to me that some have their panties in a wad because Bush didn't consult their great legal minds on this nomination.
I'm a tough really, really old geezer from the left coast. He should have picked me:)!!!!
Out of all these years of her being an attorney ... I'm sure they will find something
I wouldn't worry about that part
Is even that true?
I have constitutional right to second guess any President that I want to, you are a bleating sheep and deserve no further attention.
