Now we have a nominee who is a cipher, who moves the national debate not one centimeter toward a proper understanding of judicial review.

Gee I thought the Roberts hearings were very enlightening in that regard.

That's not what you want, you want the bloody fight, admit it. LOL.

Now we have a nominee who is a cipher

Could we at least hear from her before we judge her, that would seem fair to me?

[Howlin]

No!!

Let's judge her quick, fast, and brutally.

Yes I want the fight, because I would want to engage on the most important domestic issue in decades. We have been losing a culture war to be-robed tyrants who eventually will make our democracy not worth having if they are not stopped.

I am old enough to remember billboards urging, "impeach Earl Warren." That is a half century ago. Conservatives have been wandering in jurisprudential outer-darkness for that long. Yet,despite more than forty years in the wilderness, I have not prejudged. I have posted that I did not know how to react to the appointment apart from preliminary judgments concerning procedure which are not premature.

Whatever the motivations to appoint Miss Miers, surely she is not anointed our champion to fight our corner as was Brandeis or Frankfurter. As the admiral said so modestly of himself at the debate, "Who am I, why am I here?"

Who is she, why is she here? Can we not do better? Should we have at least tried?
