This sexism charge is beyond stoo-pid, is utter nonsense and insulting.

The whole defense of Miers is beyond stupid and insulting. This whole debate is so intellectually dishonest. It is not about elitism or about sexism or about any other kind of bigotry. It is all about if Miers will rule like a conservative and in her 60 year carreer, Harriet Miers has given no indication that she would. Harriet has every appearance of being a moderate, albiet a conservative leaning moderate. Real conservatives have real reasons to be disappointed, and until the defenders can acknowledge that honestly they will get nowhere.

It is all about if Miers will rule like a conservative...

No, it's not. It's about whether Miers will rule as an originalist, not a conservative. Yes, there is a difference between the two: a conservative would jump at the first chance a case presented to ban abortion, while an originalist would refer said issue to the states.

How could one determine that such a thing is not possible, what evidence would you use? Of course it is possible, but because a thing is possible does not mean it is likely. The question is frivolous.

Not for me. For me it's all about whether or not she's an originalist. There should be no political agenda on the court. It's all about the US constitution. Period.
