John, I thnk you need to read a bit more.

I have a feeling he has no interest in doing such.

I should have said her judicial philosphy.

Great qualifications do not guarantee a conservative judge or even a good one.

Or you can just listen to her calling for GWB's impeachment with your own little ears.

Exposing the Democrats' idiocy for all to see would tank the conservative movement? Bet me.

Ann was also against Roberts. I'm getting tired of of conservatives circling the wagons and shooting each other. The fact that Miers is not a judge and is not from the Ivy League is a good thing in my opinion. Between Roberts and Scalia we have all the intellect we could want. Everyone assumes that with 55 republicans Bush would get someone like Brown confirmed, not without forcing the nuclear option and I'm not so sure the GOP could even pass that test.

If W gets one more pick the court is going to be way to the right. There is nothing liberal about Miers, if the GOP faithful kill the nomination we deserve the beating we are going to take and seeing Mr and Mrs Clinton in the White House again in 08. I've seen the GOP eat their own too many times and it is an ugly thing to watch.

Did you see where NRO thought Thomas was another Souter? So maybe you are right. Maybe she will be another Thomas, seeing as all these conservatives thinks she is a Souter.

Nice straw man argument, but let's stay on point here....maybe YOU would like to answer the following...

....just WHY should Conservatives have to be Miss Cleo to KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING for all their hard work?

"Read my lips...she's another Scalia/Thomas!"

So...Does THIS make you feel comfortable?

Now, try and answer this WITHOUT diverting attention...if you can.

You are not alone. However, just as the Robert's hearings told you nothing about how he will vote on issues you consider critical, you can expect to learn little of substance on Miers' views. If she is confirmed, you will have to wait to see how she votes.

Bush tells us she will vote the way he wants her to vote. But I don't even know how Bush would vote on most issues. For example, if he were presented with the opportunity to overrule Roe v. Wade, how would he vote? Would Roberts vote to overrule that case?

I admit I don't know. Rummy says there are things you know, things you know you don't know, and things you don't know you don't know. How do Roberts and Miers fall in terms of those categories as regards how they will vote?

Guess you don't have a clue about the mind numbing issues that can come up before the Court.

Guess any truck driver can figure out the minutia of anti trust for example.

Ann jumped the shark when she started demanding that Bush be impeached.

While Bush was still boozing it up in the early '80s

You know .... I have been a huge fan of Ann Coulter but she lost me with that vicious statement. That is disgusting.

I am not a "Bushbot" but I get the feeling that she has some major league bitterness going on and this statement is disgusting.

I can see why the libs (and moderates) don't like her--she has a vitriolic tongue and recently, she is marginalizing herself with every column she writes.

'Wait nevermind, I think I mioght graduate your school of thought. Ok ahemmm its 73.4% in favor or are waiting for more information against your measily 23.2 % against her."

I take it that at your school, you graduated cum laude in eloquence.

The fact is-and this is an inexorable fact, whether you choose to admit so or not-that there is an enormous chasm between us and you folks.

No there's not. You have to fantasize that there is so that you'll at least have somebody to fight.

Call me crazy, but I don't think that driving a stake into the heart of the conservative movement is the most auspicious manner in which to inaugurate the confirmation process for a new Supreme Court vacancy.

More hyperbole. The apocalyptic handwringing coming from you guys is hilarious.

Boo freakin' hoo. I admit that it is sad how some turn on a dime against some of our most vocal and ardent supporters of conservatism, and Ann has been a wonderful and invaluable tool to both advance conservatism and rally our spirits. But after awhile Ann has indeed crossed too many lines too often lately. If she wants to swing zingers willy nilly at other conservatives, she can't expect not to get some backfire. And in fact she is a professional and tough, she can take criticism. Weak she is not.

Let's be honest, with her nonstop biting wit, and the reality that sooner or later she will disagree with (generic) you, it is easy for most guys to understand why she still isn't married. A good wife knows how to strongly make her point and then cut it off. AC might be wise to take that into consideration.

BTW, you might consider the law of diminishing returns, as in spamming the same message over and over doesn't strengthen it, but numbs your audience, who soon tunes you out. We are well aware of where you stand now on Harriet Miers.

There's a chance we've won but right now in my opinion the jury's not only still out but leaning toward a conviction.

That's absurd. What we KNOW about her is that she is a hand-gun toting, evangelical Christian conservative who has taken adament stands against abortion whenever she was given the option.

We know she is a highly regarded lawyer with a specialty in Contract Law (and if we could somehow get the SC to recognize that the Constitution is a contract and treat it as such we will have won the constitutional debate).

People close to her say she is an originalist (similar to Bork's stance). That fits in with her Contract Law background.

We know she's put before the President every justice he's nominated (which we've liked so much).

Ann Coulter accused the President of trying hand us a Souter during the Roberts nomination. BACK THEN she wanted a sure Conservative Vote on the courts. Now it seems Roberts is the MODEL for ALL justices. I don't recall Ann apologizing or admitting she was wrong about Roberts.

Now what sort of dream candidate were YOU looking for? I can guarantee the President has already seen his/her record. He settled on THIS one. The choice is his...not yours not mine not Ann's. This wouldn't have been my choice but then I haven't seen all the documentation on MY choice either. The President has, he selected THIS one, and there is NOTHING unsuitable (that I've seen so far) about THIS one.

We WON. We got our way. I wish somehow that Conservatives would learn to be happy with victory and not see it as a plot against them.

"Its not worth the argument with you if you do not understand that you are wrong."

Would it be worth the argument if I understood I was right?

Why don't you just say goodnight?

As a matter of fact, I'm listening to the interview you're talking about as I type. She was just making a quick facetious comment. She was telling conservatives not to take their ball and go home. She said, "You can write your Congressman, you can organize local meetings, you can start your own Impeach Bush committee, whatever, just don't give in to defeatism." It's a typical one of her off-beat ironic comments.

HAHAHA! Ken Starr is on now giving her a rining endorsement, and says she is the best pick he could think of. He is making the case based on work he has done with her (that would be LEGAL work for those who don't think she is anything but an office manager). He thinks she is an originalist.

He says those who are criticizing do not know her and haven't worked with her. Sean is trying to argue with Starr, which is humorous.

I agree with you. Which is why I want to see Opinions and/or other published works.

I want a sense of how she reasons complicated issues.
