Before you post a few more dozen times on this thread, you should stop, take a few breaths, and try to write your comments in normal English.

The list of people opposed to this nomination goes far beyond Neocons or Bush bashers. It includes a great many people who normally support Bush.

They main reason we oppose this nomination is that she is a lousy candidate, and we are blowing a once in a lifetime chance to turn the court into something truly conservative.

The second reason must of us oppose the nomination is that Bush is shooting himself in the foot. If he goes through with this, he will be severely damaged. Not because we are his enemies, but because he is doing this to himself.

The third reason most of us oppose the nomination is that it sends a terrible signal to other judges. If you EVER, EVER, speak out on the issues or make a conservative decision, you will be forever barred from further advancement in your chosen profession, because the Democrats will hate you and the Republicans won't dare to support you.

I trust my President who in case you havent noticed has done a superlative job on judidical nominations up to this point and Miers has been his chief "vetter"

Should Harriet Miers be vetted to the same criteria used for the other nominations?

"Can you assure me that Janice Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owens were even open to the idea of being nominated?"

Not open to the idea of nomination to the SUPREME COURT? A lifetime appointment to fame, small fortune, and benefits out the wazoo? A guaranteed place in history? A boffo pension plan?

Right, I'm sure they weren't interested at all.

I don't want to hit the mega millions either, but that's just me.

"We cant depend on DeWine, Chaffee, Snowe, Specter or the rest of the squishy RINOS This aint Bushes fault hes playing the hand that he was dealt."



you're right we cant count on them. so if we cant count on them, why is bush supporting chaffee over a more conservative challenger for teh 2006 RI senate race?

you cant complain about the hand you're dealt when you choose to play with the same cards over and over.

"Yes I picked the best person I could find" (and you did it with a straight face) that was it."

I remember Bush41 being mocked for the very same reason, back when he nominated Clarence Thomas.

Except, back then, it was the Dims doing the mocking.

This time, it's our own.

From one American to another, "Thank you" for contacting your Senators. Alas, I get to tell Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein what I think. I have a feeling they will care about as much as George Bush cares what conservatives think of his choice for SCOTUS.

Between a, b, and c, all that changes is how much punishment and embarassment gets served with the failure. If d happens then the GOP will find itself abandoned at the polls on election day.

Only in your dreams unless you're referring to the 1-percenters won't being voting GOP yet again and haven't since the 1996 primaries.

Then again, you've been saying the same thing on every single issue no matter what it is.

"Will she or will she not be confirmed? "

Depends on whether or not she pulls out before the hearings.

These people no longer speak for conservatives than Jessie Jackson speaks for Blacks

Just wondering, who do you thinks speaks for the conservatives these days?

"You left out sexist."

On that one point we agree. I think sexism has nothing to do with this.

I heard Bill Bennett say he was against the Miers nomination on Thursday's Hannity & Colmes.

Hannity is against it as well.
