Brothers are such wonderful things!!!!!
"Everything is classified." Well DUH. Waaaaah.
Liberals, on the other hand, think that such things are hallmarks of conservative evil.
I'm sure he will soon be seeing the photos inside her, uh, lower digestive tract as she undergoes the usual public rectal exam afforded those who seek high offices.
Agreed! I love my two older brothers. They don't know a whole lot about the person I am now, as they both moved out of the house and on to college when I was a teen, which is why I don't find this story to be too strange.
Looks like the media is going thru Miers' garbage to see if they can find anything useful to use against her.
How long before this turns into an attack on Bush?
If my memory serves me correctly, Didn't the Pundits think Thomas was another Souter
Its Bush's fault. He kept her from knowing her brother.
LOL, and Bush claims to be a family man :-)
They also thought that Souter was another Thomas. He turned out to be another Stevens.
I hear Ann Coulter on O'Reilly a minute ago claiming Miers is not qualified, I'm a big fan Ann's, but she is wrong here. Miers is as every bit as qualified and Rhenquist was when he was nominated. Just as qualified as Thomas and 5 times more qualified as Breyer and Ginsburg. I understand that there is a body of Judges with more of a track record on the Court to pick from, I was hoping GWB would pick Janice Rogers Brown and I was sorta let down over his choice, but WTF.... it's his choice not mine.
I'll wait until the hearings and express an INFORMED opinion at that time, right now I'll take GWB's word for it, but something tells me he hasn't let us down, after 200+ judges nominated and passed, I doubt anyone can claim GWB has a track record of nominating Liberal Judges
I think that a lot of conservatives are just following the conservative commentators blindly. If Coulter, Limbaugh, Kristol, and Will think she's a mistake, then so do they.
The main reason the commentators think she's a mistake, though, is that she is not on their list of candidates. They don't know her. Bush did not select someone from their list, and they are outraged.
Personally, I look at this from a more circumspect viewpoint. Bush is the President. Most of us voted for him. When we did so, we were placing our trust in him. We won't know whether he betrayed that trust until Miers writes a few opinions. Until then, there is really not much we can do about this other than to hope he did not let us down.
I do think though that this reaction by the elites might have a beneficial effect, though. I don't think that this is Bush's last appointment to the Court. I think he'll pick someone from the list next time, and that means that Gonzales and other "moderates" won't take that slot.
President Bush has done lots of things I have disagreed with and I rarely shared them here because of my respect for this president, but in my humble opinion, he has been stellar in his Judicial nominations, and therefore, he has earned my trust when he says he has picked someone we will be proud of.
Maybe I will regret trusting him, but nothing has come to the surface that would have me worried so far, in fact.... The more I have learned about Harriet Miers, the more I think GWB has been misundersetimated again
I agree with you completely. Rush has only been somewhat critical. Where I disagree with Rush is this: He says that we could have won a battle with Luttig or Rogers-Brown. I don't really believe that. And his complaint that we're taking a chance on Miers is misplaced in that he ignores that the President is not taking a chance on Miers. He knows exactly who he's appointing. Either he's appointing a conservative, and he knows it, or he is appointing a moderate and knows it. So what it really comes down to is whether we trust Bush. A lot of the Freepers and conservative elites do not.
Personally, I do, but in any event, there is nothing to be gained by "acting up." He's the President, and he's made his decision.
