We voted Republicans in control of EVERYTHING. We shouldn't have to be listing hopeful reasons she'll be OK.
Precisely.
O'Connor, Kennedy and Souter should be good enough examples of how hopes get dashed.
Can anyone post examples of Dumbocrat president's accidentally nominating conservatives to the court?
Some of the Republicans are not people Bush and Rove recruited and helped put in office.
In a knife fight in the Senate do you think we can count on
Chafee?
Collins?
Snowe?
Spectre?
McCain?
etc.
That gives us 50 votes at best for a highly-charged, die-hard conservative nominee. And we need 60 to block a filibuster.
The MSM bias toward the Demcrats gives them a 17 point edge in any election, according to Evan Thomas of Newsweek.
The fraud in most important elections gives the Democrats a 2-5% edge.
We have to overcome these odds to win. It isn't enough to have a majority of Republicans in the Senate, we need "control" and we can't get control without overcoming a stacked deck. And to overcome a stacked deck, you have to play your cards exceptionally well, with savvy, not just convictions.
"We voted Republicans in control of EVERYTHING."
Don't you think that's a little unrealistic. Without a balance of powers in our gov. and society, this country would be no better than Iran.

I also believe Miers will be a good justice. We need someone on the bench who understands business law and shares the core beliefs of a constructionist.
More than ever, the ACLU is going to try to destroy the moral fabric of our country. PC in the workplace ruined many businesses because of the costs for sensitivity programs and lawsuits.
Miers will be the justice who understands this best and working with the likes of a Scalia and Thomas give us the best legal interpretation.
This isn't only about abortion and gay marriage.
