I hope you're being sarcastic with that long list of 'barking moonbats'. I'm not sure what the president with this nomination. He could have nominated Janice Rogers Brown. Good record, solid conservative, a women, and black. We all could have had great fun in watching Joe Biden, Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, etc. in twisting themselves in knots trying to attack her.
But noooooooo, we get another Bush insider with no record, who voted Dem (albiet in the 80s) and we're told "Trust me on this one". No thanks. The high court has become the de facto ruling junta of our times, supplanting the simple farmer's language of the Constitution with prongs, twisted logic, and references to foreign law. This is probably THE most important domestic issue of our times.
Yup, the list of 'barking moonbats' is definitely sarcasm. That's what some Miers advocates on another thread were calling Ann Coulter and other conservatives that have expressed alarm over the Miers nomination. In fact, the list is growing so long now that I realized I missed a few names (such as George Will and Gary Bauer).
