Making an example that the argument raised by this nomination is not primarily on constitutional principle.
A-freekin-men!!
She does have certain credentials but there is not one reasonable person who can claim she is the "Best Choice."
I think W felt he had to take this route. If the libs threaten a filabuster against one of the "gifted" candidates, the coward repubs will cave. He could not count on 50 Senators to vote the nuclear option, nor count on them to back him when the going really gets hot. Look how they backed Lott. Look how they back anyone or thing when things get hot. Miers may be the best choice despite the lack of glitz the elitist want. She is already better than Souter, Breyer, Ginsberg, Stevens, Kennedy, and O'Conner!!!! It is scary to fight all these years to retake this hill and note your troops are all worried about their re-elections, presidential hopes, or public portrayal by the liberal media. Bush may have just won the battle up front
I'll await the hearings to judge her, but I'm not crazy about the fact that the president didn't go with someone at least a decade younger.
Warren, Suoter, Miers?
Please, please Bush-bashers, PLEASE keep attacking him and the nominee! It will reduce the criticism from the Left while, in the end, mattering not at all among Senate Republicans. Then, once she's on SCOTUS -- SHOCK AND AWE, BABY!!
