If she did, indeed, call for this, Coulter deserves every bit of contempt she receives.
Consensus stupidity and irrationality is a time-honored tradition, and being in the minority when it is in evidence is the better position to be in. I never thought I would see the day that conservatives would start whining like petulant children for no legitimate reason, but lo and behold it is "Act Like DU on FR Day".
If this kind of kneejerk emotionalism is what passes "conservatism" these days, I want nothing to do with it. It stinks like liberalism with a different agenda.
Ok, so we now toss Thomas out too because we knew nothing about him and National Review thought he was a Soutereque appt?
LOL
Thanks
"Throughout her time as first lady, Clinton continued to practice law with the Rose Law Firm. In 1988 and 1991 National Law Journal named Clinton one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America. . ."
These come from White House talking points on the Miers nomination.
"[In 1997] She Was Named To The [National Law Journal's] List Of 100 Most Powerful Attorneys." ("50 Top Women Lawyers," The National Law Journal, 3/30/98)
In 1998, National Law Journal Named Harriet Miers One Of The Fifty Most Influential Women Lawyers In America. ("50 Top Women Lawyers," The National Law Journal, 3/30/98)
In 2000, National Law Journal Named Harriet Miers One Of The One Hundred Most Influential Lawyers In America. ("The Most Influential Lawyers In America," The National Law Journal, 6/12/00)
That National Law Journal sure is busy compiling lists of the most influential and all that.
"Ann Coulter thinks the Constitution of the United States requires that someone graduate from an Ivy League school in order to serve on the Supreme Court. Wrong, the Supreme Court is far too lacking in common sense more often found at places like SMU.
Ivy League schools are festering cauldrons of boiling liberal sewage. Sometimes, as in Ann's case, bright people recognize fallacy that infests those places and they adopt a good conservative philosophy. Usually, the blue-state bastions of liberal brainwashing produce dolts.
The dumbest people I know graduated from the Ivy League. And yankee elitism is so not becoming Ann Coulter."
I agree. Ann sounds like an intellectual snob. If one's law school diploma was all that mattered then the current SCOTUS should be the best thing ever imagined by Ann. Instead, we know it is not. Ann was wrong on Roberts and I think she will be wrong on Miers as well. For all we know, Miers is probably more conservative than Roberts and O'Connor, and she is very likely smarter than Thomas and Stevens combined! Here's to all non-Ivy League over-achievers!
pssttt
do you like cheese?
I do.
He says in the complete absence of evidence...
Its fun watching the Republicans debate the true conservatives. You can see the difference between devotion to the leader and devotion to the philosophy.
Well, I think that would have been a worthwhile move on the President's part just so Ann or Schlussel could rip apart Kennedy and Company during the hearings. Only a nominee who has no interest in the job could go in there with the freedom to speak 'truth to power'!
Actually it is you who are acting like a Liberal. As conservatives we debate, educate, and come to a consensus. The left is the monolithic party.
I wonder is she's in the process of metastasizing into another Arianna Huffington?
Whatever the case, it seems to me that she is more into self-promotion than she is into advancing a conservative agenda.
Is it possible Miers is a bluff?

Between Sandy and Ruth (and Janet Reno and Mark Green) it is very embarrassing to say I went to Cornell...
Yeah, and we should really re-think the modern conservative movement, since its founder, Barry Goldwater, was a college dropout. From a state school at that.
And that Reagan dude - I just found out that he once was a Democrat. And went to a mediocre college. Guess I should never have voted for him.
So much for "Conservative" beliefs in individual reposniblity, self reliance and limited Govt! "The Govt is doing what I WANT! Whaaaaa!" Demanding perfection and pouting when you don't get it is the behavior of spoiled children, not rational adult minds. NOTHING in life is perfect. Learn to live with it.
Queen Ann is way smarter than me, but that line was uncalled for!! Ann Rox, but this one is a bit weak.
