... the stuff the Left likes is hard to get elected on gay marriage, racial quotas, partial-birth infanticide and the courts play a critical role in advancing a progressive agenda with minimal appeal to voters Great stuff!

Has he blown it? Perhaps, but it's far too early to tell, Mr. Steyn.

and the courts play a critical role in advancing a progressive agenda with minimal appeal to voters under the guise of constitutional fairnessWhen issues are brought before the SC it is instantly taken out of the hands of We The People.
Why not let The People vote on abortion? WHY? Because the issue was brought before, and ruled by the SC. That's why.
Leaving all of us without a voice.

may cause problems in 2006 Bush and Rove know there is an abortion case that will be decided before the mid term elections.
I don't they they are dumb enough to appoint a pro-abort that would show her colors within months of getting her job.
To: Pokey78
"My old comrade David Frum, who worked with her in the White House, is devastated by Bushs pick, calling her a lovely person but a taut, nervous, anxious personality wholl be a pushover for the leftie gang on the court."
If someone is a "pushover", and she is confronted by two gangs, one headed by Ginsberg/Stevens and the other headed by Scalia/Thomas, which gang wins? Which gang would you want on your side? I'm giving Scalia/Thomas all of my lunch money...and the lunch money I just stole from Ginsberg and Stevens.

>Well, we can
dream, cant we?
Dream?! Dream about what?
Changing our Republic to
a coalition
arrangement the way
countries work in, say, Europe?
Then all decisions
will need approval
from all two-bit "power blocs"
that can agitate
the pop emotions.
Instead of nightmares like that,
just let Bush govern!

For what its worth, my sense is that Harriet Miers will be, case by case, a more reliable vote against leftist judicial activism than her mercurial predecessor, Sandra Day OConnor. Why do I say this? Well, shes a strong supporter of the right to bear arms. The great Second Amendment expert Dave Kopel says you have to go back to Louis Brandeis 90 years ago to find a Supreme Court justice whose pre-nomination writings extol gun rights as fulsomely as Miss Miers. According to an old boyfriend, Judge Nathan Hecht of the Texas Supreme Court, she packs heat a Smith & Wesson .45 which I can say with certainty the other lady justice, the far-left Ruth Bader Ginsberg, never has. She is also very opposed to abortion, and a generous contributor to pro-life groups. My thoughts exactly!
And then there's this blogger who sums up what I believe is the strategy behind the Miers nomination:

its a remarkable achievement to get damned day in day out as the new Hitler when 90 per cent of the time youre Tony Blair with a ranch. The President is a religio-cultural conservative who believes in big government and big spending and paternalistic federal intervention in areas where few conservatives have ever previously thought it wise. Very good piece.

Granted.
But the apprehension is:
When we are able to tell, it will be too late. For the Supreme Court, there are no 'do overs'.

re: Of course, conservatives have been mad about a lot of Bush policies for a long time education, immigration but, in fairness to him, he campaigned as a massive federaliser of the school system and as a big nancy-boy pushover for illegal Mexicans. So we cant complain we were misled.)))
Maybe someday I'll understand WHY he wants to be a nancy-boy for Vicente's special benefit...

Steyn notes that the Democrats are "el stinko floppo" without xxx42, and have lost 3 elections since he "left" office. . .
I simply adore Steyn (all the time, but with gems like this, even more so)!
