Robert Bork is right on target with his comments about Harriet Miers.

[tdewey10]

Judge Bork knows what he is talking about. Ms. Miers' nomination needs to go down.

The Honorable Robert H. Bork, RINO

[Mr. Mojo]

Bork's confirmation would've been a disaster:

Borking the 2nd Amendment

Robert Bork is right on target with his comments about Harriet Miers.

Robert Bork has been an angry old grump for a number of years. There's not much dignity or gravitas in him just plenty of ego.

[durasell]

Wow, Bork, Borked her

[jwalsh07]

Robert Bork reads the second amendment and sees no indivdual RTKABA. Harriet Miers reads the same text and sees an individual RTKABA.

Given a choice between the two I choose Miers and I do it without hesitation no matter what they think on any other issue. The RTKABA is the right that guarantees all other rights, period.

[Travis McGee]

Amen, Judge Bork.

Now, watch for the stampede of the Bushbots, screaming how DARE you criticise W, for rewarding a loyal buddy with a SCOTUS seat!

[konaice]

because she has "no experience with constitutional law whatever".

But at the level of the supreme court, this seldom matters. Who's going to over rule her?

I cant say the "expierence" of all the other judges has done us any good over the years.

The first few times I read this article at this forum were plenty. The search function does work, but not unless it's used.

Bork is way, way over the top. True, Miers was not the perfect choice, but she's not unqualified. And leading a law firm of 400 in a fast-gwowing state is not something a moron could do successfully. As for her conservativism or lack of, no one can say that she's not an originalists or Constitutionalist. She may turn out to be an outstanding justice, and her critics will have to eat huge portions of crow.

Bush really had no good options. With Senate 'Rats threatening filibuster and RINO's wobbling, Bush simply made the best of a bad situation.

[MCCRon58]

I cant help wondering how much of the opposition to Ms Meirs stems from the lack of a "bleeding from the eyeballs" opposition from the liberal left. And I cant help but worry that the left, knowing they cannot defeat the candidate, are using a tepid, easily reversible, mild, nonsupport support to cause the more excitable elements of the right to defeat this person.

In other words, are we being played for a fool by Ted and little Dickie Durbin{child Senator}??

[narby]

I'm amazed at the wailing and knashing of teeth at the thought of a Texas sunday school teacher on the court. This is elitism at it worst. I thought it was just the left that had this affliction.

[Last Dakotan]

If I was Bush's long time personal gardener, I'd be wondering why I didn't make it to Agriculture Secretary.

I didn't read Bork's comments -- just am using it as a place to post Scott Ott's satire, below, which I thought might interest you:

Bush Failed To Ask 'What Would Kristol Do?'
by Scott Ott
http://www.scrappleface.com/

(2005-10-07) -- President George Bush today acknowledged that before appointing Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court he failed to ask himself the question that he habitually applies to such decisions: 'What would Kristol do?'

William Kristol, the neo-conservative editor of The Weekly Standard, has led the Republican outcry against a nominee who, conservatives fear, secretly favors abortion kiosks in shopping malls, and who may view the Constitution as metaphorical poetry.

The president, who wears a WWKD reminder bracelet, said, "I guess I got caught up in the moment, and tempted by the allure of appointing a justice who actually speaks in language I can understand."

Upon hearing of the president's remark today, Mr. Kristol said, "Acknowledging your sin is only half of repentance, but I stand ready to graciously forgive if the president will turn and follow me."

Today's lesson: How not to conduct yourself at Senate confirmation hearings:

Or: Lay off the sauce and cop a shave.

Or: Lay off the sauce and cop a shave.

[TomasUSMC]

By nominating Roberts and Harriet, we are encouraging legal cowards who are afraid to voice their opinions. Who lack the ability to defend their beliefs, and who we the people can not then judge, if they warrant our support or not.

Bork calls Miers nomination a disaster

Gee. I wonder what he calls his own.

[TSchmereL]

Ping me when Scalia calls Miers nomination a disaster.

[UB355]

If I remember the Bork hearings he was the disaster.
