[George W. Bush]

jdm: (what she appeared to be circa 1988)

Howlin: Unlike you, she has EVOLVED.

Since she was a Catholic until the last 20 years, then why should we feel reassured that she is somehow now a known quantity who will never veer from her telepathic ability to always rule as Bush wishes her to rule? And do we really believe he is the most briliant man she has ever met? And does that explain why she's an old maid?

The question was raised this morning with the leader of the Southern Baptist convention. He mouthed some drivel about how that was a long time ago and that she was young then (only forty!) and she hadn't done a complete flip-flop recently.

It was a pretty poor defense. What little is known of her isn't that consistent. If she's so religious and evangelical and that is the main reason the WH is touting to support her, then why didn't she discover that theological fervor until age forty? And why has she not ever shown any passion for constitutional law? And would Bush know it if he saw it?

I find it interesting that Cheney once headed the selection and vetting of VP candidates. Then he became VP suddenly. Now, Miers leads the selection and vetting of SC candidates. And she becomes Bush's SC pick.

Very interesting angle. I haven't seen any reporting on this aspect yet.

Well, of course you're right; so since we can never be POSITIVE about anything, let's just leave this seat open until 2008 and let the next president fill it, okay?

What does a person's religion have to do with being a Supreme Court Justice?

**And does that explain why she's an old maid?**

THAT is one of the most disgusting and disgraceful points I have ever seen made in any argument. It has absolutely NO relevance whatsoever to her abilities. I am completely sick of that argument and any person with half a brain should be as well.

[Howlin]

And does that explain why she's an old maid?

You've outted yourself now.

Go over to Common Dreams or TruthOut. They have plenty of reporting on it.
