The notion that Miers is an "originalist" is pure spin. As is the notion, popularized by Bush at his presser yesterday, that she was the most qualified available candidate for the High Court. Risible. Absolutely risible.

Mark Levin and Dick morris have just debated the nomination on Sean hannity's show. After listening to Levin, I am more convinced that Miers is the one I want. Levin talks a good game about not wanting judges who will re write the Constitution. We we have a person that all indications show will be an orginalist. I think Levin is more interested in a fight than actually getting the judical "No" machine we need in the Suprems Court. I think Miers will be a solid money in the bank conservative vote. Since Supreme Court Judges only get one vote, how much more could Miers do? Maybe smack Ginsberg in the chops?
"Levin is an expert on these matters."
Yeah, he was part of the crew that gave us O'Connor and Kennedy. Thanks, Mark!
Bingo....This should never have been a questionable decision amongst the base (if the base was even really considered).
I have my doubts, big time.
Honest question, for anyone who might know and answer while I google it myself. I didn't know til the other day that Rehnquist had never been a judge before the SC. What qualifications did he bring with him?
But, jeez Louise, shouldn't a nominee to the Supreme Court at least have merits?
I'm just saying what I've seemed to have noticed. Most people I've seen here are hugely disappointed in the pick.
Good one!
Levin sounded like a total whining idiot. I am no fan of Dick "toe sucker" Moris but Levin just kept interupting and made on sense.
That is a good one ( and so true) still laughing. :)
I am starting to believe the LEFT wanted a fight more than the conservatives.
Sun Tzu was right. Never fight a battle when you can take the field without the battle.
geez- could there EVER have been a name better made for instant satire than Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg
Disappointed is much different than hate her.
Yeah, right; that's why when he vetted Kennedy, we wound up with him on the SCOTUS, I suppose.
"I've seen very precious little evidence she's an originalist."
have you seen any evidence that would cause you to assume she's not?

Okay, you got me. Pardon my strong wording.
Kennedy lied during the vetting process. what you are saying is that a person with LESS of a record to be vetted, is a less risky choice. no way.
"What qualifications did he bring with him?"
16 years of private practice in AZ and 3 years in the Nixon Administration. And that was it.
"Yeah, he was part of the crew that gave us O'Connor and Kennedy. Thanks, Mark!"
I have a tremendous ammount of repect from Levin, that being said he was the one responsible for vetting Kennedy.
