Time to turn off Limbaugh, Levin, Ingraham, time to never read a column by Coulter, Malkin, etc ever again!!

Actually Rush's only complaint is that Miers is an unknown and that he doesn't think we should nominate a stealth candidate.

Rush:Okay, here's who we are, this is our nominee, this is the person or people that we want to be on the Supreme Court, these are the people we love, these are the people we trust," with no guessing game, and no roll of the dice. It always just still to me comes back to that.

Rush wasn't totally critical of the stealth strategy.

Rush: There is something to be said for this. I know a lot of people, there's something to be said here for the stealth nature. A lot of people remember, a lot of Republicans, that contingent from Maine, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, running around saying, "The Bush pick better be right here or I can't say I will support the pick." There's a lot we don't know, folks, and remember one of my theories and themes: there's a lot we don't know. And one of the things we don't know could well be that the White House has figured out that they don't want the filibuster fight because they don't want to lose it, and they don't want to lose a great pick and don't want to lose a great nominee, and the idea is to get somebody on the court that they trust and that is in the image of what the president has said, and one way of doing it is this, another way, John Roberts.

And he even said, that she may turn out to be a good choice.

Rush:He may have nominated here a very proud conservative.

Rush was all over the place on Miers. He doesn't know what he thinks on that.

Thats all well and good, but Rush also said this wasnt the best pick...and this was a good chance to have a debate about the courts and to expose the left.

Again, I listed Ingraham and Levin as well, both lawyers who understand the stakes and the fact that this was a bad choice.

Finally, regardless of their opinion, Ive found some things that just dont jive. She supported affirmative action and created a feminist lecture series at SMU. Those are hardly conservative ideas, unless of course you are a proponent of the so called "big tent":

"Miers' time on Dallas City Council provides some insight"
Miers was one of 10 Dallas council members to unanimously approve a 1989 agenda item that revised minimum height, weight and vision requirements for Dallas firefighters to facilitate "promotion of certain ranks in the Fire Department," particularly women.

The agenda item's title: "Implementation of Fire Department Affirmative Action Plan."







It is very interesting. Which goes hand in hand with this:

In the late 1990s, as a member of the advisory board for Southern Methodist University's law school, Ms. Miers pushed for the creation of an endowed lecture series in women's studies named for Louise B. Raggio, one of the first women to rise to prominence in the Texas legal community ...Ms. Miers, whom President Bush announced on Monday as his choice to fill the Supreme Court seat being vacated by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, not only advocated for the lecture series, but also gave money and solicited donations to help get it off the ground ... A feminist icon, Gloria Steinem, delivered the series's first lecture, in 1998.
