it is refreshing to be able to engage in dialogue with someone on the opposing side in a civil manner
we can agree to disagree, for reasons i cited earlier WRT to the hearings (ie ginsburg rule and not being able to forecast whether she'll drift leftward within 5-10yrs)

Bush nominated Harriet Miers to the SCOTUS, and by gosh she deserves an opportunity to defend herself before the Senate Judiciary Committee, same as any other nominee.

"William Rehnquist had never been a judge before his appointment."
Yes, however, Rehnquist had SCOTUS experience and, while there, in his early years, was provided with a continuous education in regard to constitutional law (served as a law clerk for SCOTUS Justice R. Jackson). As a clerk, Rehnquist was an apprentice, an internal, behind-the-scences observer to the SCOTUS. It goes without saying that Rehnquist had a depth of background and experience with constitutional law not, by any stretch of the imagination, matched by Miers.

This is disgusting on so many levels. I just checked my Constitution and there is no provision for Advice and Consent from Canadian magazine column writers. NRO has lost their mind and they are living in their own little echo chamber.
Somebody needs to knock some sense into them.
Is Bill Buckley anywhere to be found? Hey Bill, the kids are destroying your 50th Anniversary-- maybe they need to be grounded for a while.

I actually heard a dem on the House floor last week, when they were debating the energy thing...whether to allow offshore drilling....
say that building refineries and drilling would take a "long time, maybe 5 years", waa, waa, waa...
Of course if these idiots had agreed to these in 2001, when Bush first wanted an energy policy with these things in them....
They would be up and running and POSSIBLY helping out right now!!

Constitutional law isn't that hard. I hate to break this fact to the general public, but it's true. There's no doubt that the amount of case law on it is huge, but even the three-prong tests that the court has set up to evaluate certain issues aren't that terribly complicated.
What matters is your philosophy in addressing those issues.
I still don't know why my law school grade in Federal Income Taxation Law, which I hated and still don't understand, slightly beat out my Con Law grade. I could answer those senators all day without looking at notes, and my job today doesn't involve constitutional law very often at all. Maybe once every ten years.

I'm starting to think this was inevitable in one form or another.
The moderation in the GOP had to come to a tipping point
