I admit, at times I am over bearing. A flaw that I cannot seem to correct, but try to keep in check.
My dear old mother says ... "You always think you are right".
I reply ... "Mom, of course I do. So does everyone else. For if they did not believe they were right, they would have to acknowledge that they were lying".
" I think this Miers pick is a legitimate question mark as do many others on this forum and about a dozen genuine conservative commentators. I think that is healthy, and the debate should be joined (as long as we don't devolve into a nasty, leftoid, name-calling battle royal). Just my opinion."
Without a doubt the Miers nomination is a "legitimate question mark". I also think that the debate is "healthy" and "should be joined".
My disagreement is at the inuendos and denegrating, insulting remarks, made by some, as to the womans character, and towards President Bush.
As I have stated here, I am not a fervent supporter of Harriet Miers. She is an unknown to me. I do however, believe the hearings should take place and the Constitution, we are all screaming about, is allowed to dictate Ms Miers future.
I am also aware, that to many that will be too late, and their fear that she will be confirmed will be realized.
Finally ... I am from a rather old school that believes we elected a president, for good or bad, and that he has the Constitutional right to nominate. We have a Constitutional right to yell we don't like it. The Senate has the right to confirm or deny. In the final analysis I would hope that we keep those rights and not have them usurped by the courts.
