Again, even ONE fact. A FACT. NOT your emotion based opinions shouted out as facts. A FACT to prove your accusations. So far all I hear from you is "I hate Bush. Meirs is Bush's choice. That means Meirs is bad" Sorry you hate Bush. Sorry your feelings are hurt. But this nonsensical desperate attempt you have been pulling all day to throw up ANYTHING in the hopes that SOMEONE will validate your hate Bush feels is pathetic. You have LOST the argument. Every single nonsenical thing from Her Age to her School to quoting Alexander Hamiltion to claiming that truly stupid nonsense about how her appoint will discourage lower court judges from doing their duty has been repeatedly NUKED. Yet you still keep flailing away desperate for SOMETHING to valid your hate. Sorry try DU or Moveon.org. You will get all the validation you want there. You will not get it here. Conservatives THINK about stuff, we do not base our decisions on how we FEEL about things.

Personally, I couldn't disagree more with Ms. Coulter about the Ivy League/Major Law School requirement for Supreme Court Justices [Full disclosure: I graduated from Fordham Law School, before it went "national"]. The last thing we need is another Ivy League Puke in the halls of power [I wouldn't allow Ivy League clerks, either, nor anybody who hadn't actually practiced law for a while before starting the job.].

That being said, I cannot find any reason in the world for naming this woman to the Court [and remember, Hillary was one of the 100 most famous/powerful attorneys in the U.S, too]. She's run a lottery. Who's next, Ed McMahon? She's been President of a Bar Association. That's usually due to seniority in the group. She's a friend of "W's". Who cares?. Scalia or Thomas should have been made Chief Justice, not Mr. Roberts [or is he Ensign Pulver?]. And a qualified CONSERVATIVE judge should have filled both vacancies. Afraid of the hearings? Send somebody in with no interest in the job, but great interest in arguing with the Senior Dirigible from Mass., the shyster from New York City, the drama queens from Cal., etc, first. After three hours with someone like that, those numb skulls would put Attila on the Court.But please, Mr. President, spare us the mediocrity. You're becoming a self - fufilling joke.

The Bush defenders don't get it. Bush ticks off a majority of his base and his defenders get ticked off at those who get ticked off. The source is Bush.

[Republic of Texas]

Right. He was so unkown that the dems dragged Anita Hill out of the muck to trash him. They don't do that unless they are afraid. In retrospect, they had every right to be afraid. Did they go that far with Souter? HELL NO, WHY BOTHER, HE WAS ONE OF THEM.

[dirtboy]

I don't know, but the real irony here is that many of the people who will be making personal attacks on ann coulter were the same ones saying Miers would be a good pick because she's a 'Christian'.

Ann threw the first stone here.

We're throwing it back. Hyperbolic pundits have no expectation of immunity from having their approach used right back on them.

[goldstategop]

Now if the President had nominated Ann Coulter or Debbie Schlussel to the Court - I would have gotten behind them 100% cause I know how these beautiful women think and they could have served on the Court for decades. All I can think of - what a missed opportunity!

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

[traderrob6]

Sorry, not at all. Bushbot is a catch all term used against someone when one has run out of cogent arguments. Kinda like "I know what I am but what are you" It's usage is juvenile and silly.

[MNJohnnie]

And now let the personal attacks on ann coulter begin...

OH I get it. ANN is allowed to make as many personal attacks as she wants. WE are to be condemend for feeding back her own tactics too her.

[A.Hun]

Not hardly.

[JCEccles]

All the Bush-excusing world may (and will) rage at this commentary, but Ann Coulter has called it exactly right. Coulter herself would be a far better pick for SCOTUS than Miers is. But I suspect Coulter would also be the first to admit that she, Coulter, is strictly second or third rank compared to a Luttig or a McConnell.

Bush has squandered an opportunity, the most important opportunity of his five years in office.

[Lester Moore]

MJY1288 don't allow yourself to be guilted by this illiterate smuck.

[hummingbird]

Otherwise she's comming off as an Elitist. I'll be damned if I accept the ideal that only graduates from certain "prestige" schools are worthy of high office.

No kidding...SMU grads must be hanging their heads in shame; Ann has spoken.

**SNORT**

[TSchmereL]

I got my assertion that Bush is discouraging conservative judges on Appellate courts from creating a strong and clear conservative record from RUSH LIMBAUGH! No one debunked it. You made comments about it that showed you did not even understand what I was saying.

[kublia khan]

The Hoity Toity School bit is overdone. You have a better chance of finding conservative profs at smaller schools and that in itself speaks volumes of the esteem or lack thereof that we should hold the Ivy League in.

[safisoft]

Bush promised a Scalia and Thomas, he nominated the Church Lady.

You would think that a Bush would remember the importance of "Read My Lips..."

[Burr5]

I love Ann Coulter. I also want to keep an open mind on Miers.

I hope Ann is wrong.

BTW, either "which" or "that" is grammatically correct in that context. Don't push me away, Ann. We are about to see how wrong you were about John Roberts. If he proves reliable, your credibility will take a huge hit, even with me.

Still, Treason is an absolutely indispensable book.

Amen!!If you're into anorexics, yeah.

Some guys are into stick figures who chain smoke.

No thanks.

I really cannot wait for the NEXT one after Miers...

Neither can the Atty who defended Bush in his DWI case.
