In your dreams. Even Time thinks she'll be confirmed.
At this point she'll probably be confirmed, absent some blunder during the confirmation hearings. However, it's certainly more likely that she will have said blunder than, say, a Roberts. Or anyone who's dealt with constitutional law to any extent.
I'd hate to be the guy in charge of the success of this phase of the campaign.
Oh, great. The "love her she's Evanglical" approach didn't work, so now they've gone back to the drawing board and plan to say that she's an outstanding example of feminist accomplishment. I thought that changing the language instead of the substance was a current Democrat technique.
But I thought the Bush team paid no attention to the polls or what others felt or believe. And now they are changing their talking points again. Geez, have the Clinton's test the waters team taken over?
"Pioneering?"
She'd hardly have been "pioneering" 100 years ago; now she's only "pioneering" in the sense that women attorneys are also allowed to be mediocre...
Bush's friends contend that it is the conservative elite, not the President, who miscalculated and that self-righteous right-wingers stand to lose their seats at the table of power for the next three years. "They're crazy to take him on this frontally," said a former West Wing official. "Not many people have done that with George Bush and lived to tell about it." If a Justice Miers eventually takes her seat on the court, vocal critics can only hope the Bush Administration handles the punishment of the treasonous as poorly as it is currently promoting one of its most loyal subjects.
No, Bush is the one that is a fool to betray his base in this manner. He represents the people. He isn't king. And, if he thinks he is going to be a lame duck and not a bigger failure than his father if he doesn't withdraw this nomination, he is a fool.
The newest threat.
Sheesh!
