Conservatives Lining Up to OPPOSE Miers Nomination

Hey just relax. If we learn in a couple years that Bush used two precious SCOTUS vacancies to preserve the Court's status quo, or even to move it leftwards...no biggie! In just 20 to 40 years, his judges will both be off the court anyhow.

What does your use on the subjective word "mere" add to the discourse? Do you know something or just parroting others.

The right to petition you government is of course part of the process as is the government's right to ignore you.

[GladesGuru]

The use of "mere" was deliberate. But I think the issue is not whether I "know something" new about Miers.

What we are engaged in here is a battle for the soul of the Republic, as Newt Gengrich said over a decade ago. Will the Conservatives sit idly by while Bush refuses to honor core campaign promises regarding appointing originalists to SCOTUS? That is the question being answered, in no small part on FR.

I a larger sense, we are addressing the question, as yet not clearly discussed, as to whether we shall have judges of the pre-New deal?Great Society America or not.

Conservatives watched in fascinated horror as Gorby, and his Communism Lite Green Cross gang were ensconced in near Royal grandeur in California (how appropriate a choice of state). Do remember that these conservative minds are aware that Gorby, both Presidents Bush, and Clinton all share common views about the UN, a New World Order, ad nauseam.

The issue that dares not speak it's name is whether America is to continue down the path to cultural and political destruction followed by all socialist states or will we reject the Creeping Communism of the New Deal/Great Society, shut down most agencies, and return to the proven historic AMerican way of life.

As the SCOTUS plays an egregiously aggrandized role in this issue, the choice of SCOTUS justices is therefore crucial to how this question is answered. As one who is certain that America can not survive even the present level of Communism Lite which we now have, thanks to the New Deal/Great Society, to allow the appointment of a minor functionary in the Bush retinue over Brown is worth whatever effort can be made.

Specifically, the use of "mere" was chosen because it succinctly identifies and dismisses a minor league candidate for SCOTUS.

Proof of the efficacy of that word choice is your having devoted so much time to trying to discredit that very descriptive word.

I have posted on this forum, and published research papers, and written for the popular press at great risk of retaliation, including trumped up criminal charges. Not being paid to so do, you (like many of my friends) should ask "Why do it, then"?

As an American who believes the Founding Documents mean exactly what they say, and who has seen the arrayed forces of Communism Lite in America, I can only fall back on a Western line.

Out there they say "Riding for the brand."

Back East, Ray Harbin summed up why he put so much effort, time, and money into Newt, Barr, and the rest of the Republican Revolution. "When you see something going down on your watch, it is your duty to cry out."

He did, I am trying, and so are the otherFReepers who are voicing sincere concerns about Miers and the related grievances with Bush and the Pubbie "leadership".

My apologies for the length of my reply, but you did ask for answers. I hope I have given you some.

[Mike Darancette]

I hope I have given you some.

Thanks.

"If we must "trust" someone, doesn't it make sense to trust the person whose reputation in the annals of history is on the line, rather than writers and talkers who are accountable to no one?"

Yeah, because he was such a constitutionalist when it came to McCain-Feingold, and he's so trustworthy with his constitutional requirement to secure America's borders.

I like Bush, I voted for Bush, he's done a lot of good things. But I don't "trust" him. He gets it wrong plenty of the time, and I am not a blind loyalist to the George Bush cheerleading fan club. I'm loyal to conservative ideas and ideals and Bush sacrifices those whenever it suits him politically.

Then who does? We need spokesmen with National audiences. Who are they and what do they say abotu Miers? Or we need to fume in silence because Mr. Wonderful has made a collosal boo boo?
