How can George Will now stand against Miers? Miers was picked because the RINOS would never trigger the nuclear option and clear the way for a great nominee like Luttig. Now Will wants it both ways.

See the other thread on Mark Levin's article.

I knew there was a reason that I always thought Will was a weasel.

"How can George Will now stand against Miers?"

Because he wants a well-qualified conservative nominee for the Supreme Court???

If GWB had nominated someone for SCOTUS who was actually filibustered, then you'd have a case, maybe. But as it is, it's a total non-issue. There was no filibuster, so there's no need for a nuke option.

Good catch.

This is a good catch to remind people that even Will can be inconsistent--and to remind them of his ongoing feud with the Bush family.

Nothing they do can be right in old George's intellectual world.

George Will lost his base a long time ago.

Rush Limbaugh mentioned this on his radio show today. Whoever tracked this down did a very good job.

A few months ago George Will was making the case that eliminating these judicial filibusters was a bad idea. Then yesterday he criticized the Bush administration for failing to nominate a "truly conservative" Supreme Court justice who only could have been confirmed if the GOP exercised the "nuclear option" and overturned the filibuster rule.

In taking these schizophrenic positions on the issue of judicial nominations, Mr. Will has exposed himself as an utter, two-faced fraud. The man is so full of sh!t that I can smell him from here.

He writes very well and often makes good points, but never trust an inside-the-Beltway jack@ss who wears a bowtie and lists "professional pundit" as his occupation.

Interesting catch.

Some might say that here is all the proof we need that tying your bow-tie too tight will kill your brain cells.

Others (more cynical) would observe that Mr. Will's lush income depends upon his finding some "conflict", somewhere, to pontificate about...

Thank you for finding this.
