That is perhaps the most obsurd comment I've heard in months.

It's not absurd at all. You're doing exactly what conservatives have accused the left of doing. Objecting to a qualified candidate purely on ideological grounds. You can't have it both ways.

Had Bush nominated Alan Dershowitz, would Republicans have no business objecting to the nomination on ideological grounds?

Is there any Bush nominee you wouldn't support?

Your incessant whining and shrieking about Miers plays right into the democrats hands. You're carrying water for Clinton, Kennedy, Schumer, Pelosi...ect...

I have stated that the left is trying to attain what they couldn't at the polls, by judicial fiat. I have stated that I want to make sure that our last line of defense against this, the Supreme Court, has rock solid conservative judges to prevent it. If you truly do think that's carrying water for Clinton, Kennedy, Schumer and Pelosi my hats off to you. That is perhaps the most obsurd comment I've heard in months.

As stated before, I have posted some limited comments about Miers appointment on this forum. I have addressed the issue of there being more qualified people out there with more of a proven track record. This is neither inceassant or whining. It's been a few intermittant statements of fact.

In your post you characterized my commments as carrying water for Clinton et al. From my comments it's quite clear that my concern is blocking leftist policy through judicial fiat. It's simply doesn't fly to maintain that this furthers the cause of Clinton et al.

We have a Senate that is by far heavily populated by extreme leftists, moderate leftists, and people who call themselves conservatives, but who are in actuality moderates or worse. There are very few people in the Senate who actually get it. It is the vast wasteland that is the Senate of the United States, that causes me to object to Miers getting to a vote. This Senate would approve of Ted Kennedy if he was nominated by the likes of Bill Clinton. Why would they object to Harriet Miers? She's an absolute shoe-in if she gets to a vote. So were Souter, Ginsberg and O'Connor.

No, I do not want Harriet Miers to get to a vote. The dems loft the best they can offer and it's up to us to object. Here one of our own has lofted one from the right, and we as conservatives are voicing objection. It's not the same thing at all to what you have been suggesting. We are not blocking the other side unfairly. We are asking that our own side rethink this.
