"It is not important that she be confirmed because there is no evidence that she is among the leading lights of American jurisprudence, or that she possesses talents commensurate with the Supreme Court's tasks. The president's ``argument'' for her amounts to: Trust me."
I predict george will will be attacked on this thread like never before.
To: RWR8189
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.

Wow. I wouldn't have believed this was George Will.

"In addition, the president has forfeited his right to be trusted as a custodian of the Constitution. The forfeiture occurred March 27, 2002, when, in a private act betokening an uneasy conscience, he signed the McCain-Feingold law expanding government regulation of the timing, quantity and content of political speech. The day before the 2000 Iowa caucuses he was asked -- to insure a considered response from him, he had been told in advance he would be asked -- whether McCain-Feingold's core purposes are unconstitutional. He unhesitatingly said, ``I agree.'' Asked if he thought presidents have a duty, pursuant to their oath to defend the Constitution, to make an independent judgment about the constitutionality of bills and to veto those he thinks unconstitutional, he briskly said, ``I do.''QFE!!

Yes there is that.

Will is right. Period. The ad hominem attacks fall flat and just show weak intellect.

Why does it seem Evangelical/Religious Right groups are supporting Miers and "Intellectual" Conservatives are not?

"I predict george will will be attacked on this thread like never before."
I'm disturbed by how many commentators I used to respect seem to be using no logical reasoning in this case. Larry Kudlow is on the radio right now and he was discussing Miers basically saying "well ((such and such)) has supported her and that's good enough for me"... "and this group supports her and they're good". Where are his critical thinking skills? Anybody who honestly thinks "Bush picked her and I trust him" is an argument, really scares me.

He has been attacked on here before: for being an elitist and full of himself. He continues true to his own form.

We're lucky that Bush's kindergarten teacher has passed on or he might have nominated her. She is dead isn't she?

Now I disagree with most of this collumn from his assumptions like "money is speech" to his conclusions about Meirs but...
Do we really want to call people "leftist" when we disagree?
