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?
Hey I wanted the fight too, when low and behold up popped the RINOS to sell out the nomination process for the comity of their precious senate.
If you count the RINOS it's obvious to see that there could easily be a "borking party".
That would probably set conservative judges back forever. They would no longer even be considered for the SC. Remember just how easy it is for the MSM to assist the DUmmies in destroying people.
We watched them do this the Pickering nomination over a just decision in a cross burning case.
The good judge did the right thing BUT it was allowed to stand in the general public that he was somehow a racist.
The left wing hate groups will lift any single sentence out of someone record and use it to create the lies that their MSM pals will repeat ad infinitum.
They have this approach pre-prepared on every conservative judge there is, ready to roll out the hit squads.
At least Bush threw them another curveball. He is the President, I'm thinking Miers might be a Trogan Horse that the DUmmies will forever hate. I really think that's W's goal, don't you?
