Before Bush announced her as his nominee, did you even know who Harriet Myers was? Why all the vitriol? Have you not noticed that many people here are of the "independant thinker" caste?

Hell, I hope she and Roberts end up defining "originalist", but the fact is, Bush could have picked someone, in both cases, with a more conservative track record. By not doing so, he appears afraid of the left. I don't like that. Apparently, I am not alone either.

I don't want to slip a Meirs onto the Court. I want to grind the socialists bones into dust. I think we are shirking away from that fight, which we CAN WIN.

I hate weasels.

Once again, he is dealing with the realities of the Gang of 14. Everything need to be viewed in that context.

I want to grind the socialists bones into dust. I think we are shirking away from that fight, which we CAN WIN.

Ah, it now becomes clear. You want to fight the final battle.

With seven RINOs on your flank that undercut us when we went for the nuclear option.

Really friggin' brilliant.

I know. I understand that point of view.

However, my response here:

Bush is not about appearances. By all appearances, the left is afraid of Bush. In this case he has picked a nominee that 1.) is bound to stick with originalist interpretation and application of the Constitution, and 2.) does NOT have a jurist's track record for Nina Totenburger to snarf into her mullet brain.

I hope Totenburger and her ilk choke ten-fold for the grief they handed Clarence Thomas over the "seriousness of the charges." This nomination is just one small part of the choke factor the left is experiencing.
