Ann has opinions, three books full, hundreds of appearances on TV and talk radio. she's a Swift Boat veteran all wrapped into one.

On the other hand, what has Mier contributed in the battle of ideas?

Ann Coulter is a skilled propogandist, but so far as the law is concerned, what has she accomplished?

A Constitutional literalist doesn't need to contribute squat in the battle of ideas.

They only need to read the Constitution, consult the dictionary for the meaning of words, and rule accordingly.

That's why Thomas is so lethal to liberals. His writings are simple - and works of art. He does not argue ideas. He argues the Constitution as written. It is NOT his job to put ideas into his rulings. He understands that it is his job to put his ideas aside and rule by what is written.

And that is the most radical idea of all in this day and age.

She has put before Dubya everyone of his judicial nominations that you like so much.

I like Ann, but Miers has done more.
