Catch my drift?

During the 11:00 p.m. (CST) newsbreak, Donna Fuducia reported that Karl Rove told James Dobson that 80% of the potential SCOTUS nominees on the President's list declined his offer because of they didn't want to undergo the grueling confirmation process. Perhaps this sheds new light on the reason why W chose Miers.
You are the one that should be ashamed, you were on all the nastiest of the threads and never bothered to have the guts to correct any of the lies or question the Sliming of Miers. You went along with it all. You could easily repeat the slanderous filth because you were on all the threads where this sliming took place. I tell the truth about Laura and offer compassion for her plight, and you hear others slime a decent women and slime her yourself and would not even offer her a chance to be heard, but would love to see her ridden out of town on a rail. You need to hang your head in shame.
The 80% might very well know their own backgrounds well enough to know they wouldn't want them made public.
Clarence Thomas turned out to be an excellent Justice, but do we really want to go through "Long Dong Silver" again?
Are you a woman that has had breast cancer and had a man that you finally trusted to have children with and spend the rest of your life with and he walks out on you in your hour of need? You think all that makes her just so chipper and happy with the world. She is not a Saint, she cannot handle this by herself it will only get worse. You do not have to be a shrink to recognize pain and anxiety. You are another one that was on all those hateful threads and did nothing to correct lies,and challenge slimers.
You're going to have to come up with something better than White House Counsel-read the President's fall guy/crony-if you hope to impress me, or more importantly, refute my assertion.
My statement stands.
You don't need a legal degree to be a supreme court justice... so, why not you?
Catch my drift?
Perhaps it stands in your own mind, but that is only because you have no idea what you are talking about. Let me simplify the matter for you. Being the Whitehouse Counsel trumps Ann's position working for the Senator from Michigan. And that is just one entry on Miers' resume that is more impressive than Ann's. The only thing Ann has more credentials in is authoring books and appearing on the Bill Mahar show.
I used to have respect for you, but that is in the past. I thought you knew what you were talking about,either someone else is using your screen name or something is amiss, you were a good bluffer until you tried to put two SC appointees in the same chair, and judging by your previous posts, I could have sworn you would have known better. By the way, you did nothing to stop the lies and sliming either. That was one of the reasons why I thought you had been highjacked, I thought you were a better person than what I have seem with the slimers. Even if I dislike the person like Hillary, if someone says something about them that is not true, I challenge that person even if I like the person that is wrong. Most Conservatives and freepers are that way, and I thought you were too, I am sorry to say I was wrong. Anger and hatred, and 20 years of frustration have taken over and made it a get Miers all out battle. So very sad.
Please just pray for her, I know I am.
What school did you attend?
;-)
-She has an outstanding curriculum vitae. In fact, she has exceeded the professional/educational accomplishments of both Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham.
Demonstrably false!
-She is "pro-life"
Again, no confirmatory evidence-aside from the public relations effort by the White House and its minions-has been provided on this front. But even if for the sake of argument I were to concede this point-which I'm not willing to do-how exactly does that prove that she has a judicial philosophy that will lead her to overturn the disastrous Constitutional desecration established by Roe v. Wade, Doe, Webster, Carhart, etc...?
-She is a committed conservative
Really? What precisely leads you to that conclusion? Her donations to liberal Democrats? Her support for racial and sex-based quotas? Or is it her enthusiasm for budget-busting, oppressive property tax hikes?
"If they were 10 nominees this means only two were left to choose from. I wonder who was the other candidate beside Miers."
I had been hearing that Bush was told there were only 2 confirmable on his list. The other was Gonzales.
Your are right. That's the fight worth waging, not to be #4 in 5-4 decisions.
On the other hand, I think at least 80% of the general public have something in their background that an opposition could makeout to be just less that a capital crime.
How many have had that unexplained check that might have been income or a loan repayment. Didn't file a 1099 for the guy that cut the grass. Or, to take to absurd but factual lengths, didn't report the "cents off coupons" as income.
These hearings, in this day and age, are Inquisitions and could destroy anyone with a slight chink in their armour.
Too big a gamble for most.
Meirs doesn't have to worry about nanny payments, etc.
Being a successful brownnoser does not equate to winning a critical judgment in a civil or criminal lawsuit, or establishing a lasting Constitutional precedent.

"I don't think this is true. As my husband says, if you've got a chance at the top job, you should take a swing at it."
So you can speak for everyone on W's Supreme Court short list from personal knowledge of their decisions?
"Well, that leaves 20% who are unafraid hard as nails conservatives. Damn the RINOs, let the battle rage on!"
If there were 5 people on the list, 20% would be...one. Maybe Miers is that one hardcore conservative willing to let the battle rage on.
Let me put it this way: would YOU be willing to face the kind of scrutiny of your entire adult life, followed by the Democrats distorting every last bit of information that they find? Your reputation would be forever blackened in the aftermath. I wouldn't be willing to go through that.
