And you wonder why you're being called a drama queen? Normal people don't consider attempts to persuade political leaders to do their jobs right to be "power grabs".
If Ms. Miers does weaken and withdraw, I would fully support the President if his next nominee did not meet with the approval of the so-called conservative punditocracy. In fact, I would hope that the President would nominate Alberto Gonzalez should Ms. Miers withdraw.
You hope that he gets even more vindictive of his poor little bruised ego so it can be smacked down again? My, you have high hopes for our public servants.
"Normal" people don't have the hubris to walk around pretending to care about the Constitution, then ignore that great document when it suits their purpose. "Normal" people don't throw a hissy fit when their version of who is and who is not qualified for the Supreme Court doesn't agree with the Constitutional provisions as to who gets to make that determination. "Normal" people are usually willing to wait for hearings before rushing to judgement and insisting that a nominee withdraw before she has had an opportunity to speak for herself. "Normal" people are not afraid of allowing a nominee to exercise their Constitutional right of free speech.
You hope that he gets even more vindictive of his poor little bruised ego so it can be smacked down again? My, you have high hopes for our public servants.
As I pointed out to the last person who didn't pay attention to what I actually wrote, no. I'm the vindictive one, not GWB. What part of "In fact, I would hope that the President would nominate Alberto Gonzalez should Ms. Miers withdraw," do you not understand?
