Not true at all. Misinformation

[Howlin]

I see--"cronyism" in your own business is bad, but "cronyism" on the public's dime is good, is that it?

That sound you hear is his point going right over your head.

. . readers who suggested excellent edits to the petition draft . .

Not nearly enough.

It's a crude thing, and stands as a mismatched bookend to the Corner's snark on the same shelf.

But the nomination IS a disaster.

[Kryptonite]

She's a dimwit, just like all the others, if she doesn't realize that the filibuster is a power grab by the senate to declare for itself who is too extreme to deserve an up or down vote.

She's hurting her own self interests by not recognizing that the filibusters concocted by Kennedy, Schumer, Clinton, et. al. are the core problem.

Maybe she can include some discussion, even a line or two, about the filibusters in her next article. Otherwise, I'll view her with the same disdain as I have for anybody else that ignores the gorilla in the room.

I have been banned from posting, three times...Not only have I been bounced, but the threads have been pulled AND all my posts removed. How incredibly orwellian, I have been expunged ..... :-) This is absolutely appalling. Are no alternative views to be heard? Fourth times a charm? Get lost, take a hint. You're an IDIOT!

[Howlin]

[BigSkyFreeper]

The last i heard David Frum changed his position to support Miers.

I don't think so.

[Spiff]

Add conservative Melanie Morgan to the growing list of notable conservatives against the Miers nomination:

Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin, Sen. Rick Santorum, Judge Robert Bork, Rep. Tom Tancredo, George Will, John Podhoretz, Phyllis Schlafly, Paul Weyrich, Grover Norquist, Laura Ingraham, Bill Kristol, Bill Bennett, Jonah Goldberg, John Fund, Charles Krauthammer, David Keene, Sen. Sam Brownback, Robert Novak, David Frum, Peggy Noonan, Gary Bauer, David Limbaugh, Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell, Mona Charen, Richard Lessner and many, many more.

[Roberts]

I'm not in favor of cronyism at any level. I just find it ironic that Ms. Morgan (who, I'll admit, rubs me the wrong way) is complaining about Bush appointing a "crony". I actually agree with many of her criticisms, but hearing them from her makes me laugh.

I have a feeling you and I may agree on the Miers topic, by the way.

[TheCrusader]

Interesting article, but why are Melanie Morgan's other candidates for SC nonimation all females? She accuses Meirs of self interest, while simultaneously putting political correctness and feminism ahead of what's best for America.

Surely there are some conservative men out there, sitting on Federal Appeals Courts who also have enormous qualifications for the job; perhaps even better qualifications than the women listed. Why are men being intentionally passed over as candidates for this crucial position regarding the future direction of America? And why doesn't anybody care?

[Howlin]

given that your normal users should be given the opportunity to realise how malignant is the mind control on this site

You obviously haven't been reading FR this week, bud.

[NormsRevenge]

Melanie is on vacation til monday's show.

.. and we should at least keep in mind, Miers is no Ruth Bader Ginsburg , she has never worked for the ACLU, much less, led it.

I know it is of little consolation too many, but keep in mind there will likely be other openings soon enough on the court. Miers is truly a faith-based appointment.

[Map Kernow]

Back on May 29th he wrote a piece that said that Harriet Miers is on the short list of potential picks for the SCOTUS and had no objections then and even said that she is picked, you heard it hear first. So we now know that Frum was for Harriet Miers before he was against her

Back up your Clintonesque smear with a link. Reproduce Frum's exact language here and produce a link. Or go do it flying.

[goldstategop]

I agree with you - gender shouldn't matter. But let's face it - once they picked a woman, its all but politically impossible to name any one but a woman. I don't like quota politics but what can one do? sigh>

Sackings are becoming routine at ABC Radio, where conservative morning show host Melanie Morgan has been yanked from San Francisco's KSFO-AM without warning.

[McGavin999]

I wonder what would have happened to this country if someone had written a letter like this to Scalia or Thomas?

[flashbunny]

Thomas was a very tepid endorsement. If you can even call it an endorsement.

Of course, your'e also forgetting in the 'against' column, Rush Limbaugh, David Limbaugh, Mark Steyn, Peggy Noonan, John Fund, almost all of national review online, and many more.

[Roberts]

Again, I have nothing against Ms. Miers personally, and accept that she might vote entirely the way I would hope. And I wouldn't dream of comparing her to Ginsburg (a true politician on the Court if ever there was one).

[Map Kernow]

I have a feeling you and I may agree on the Miers topic, by the way.

Glad if we do. I'm not in favor of cronyism even in private business, because it's usually bad for business. But a private owner has a right to run his business into the ground if he wants to---the President has no right to foist a unqualified crony on the Republic's highest court.
