The presidency itself is weakened because his judgment is now doubted within his own camp.

I don't know where you are coming from, but you are definitely out to lunch.

Let the process play out and the Senate decide.

There will be other openings soon enough, imo..

Bush took true conservatives for granted, now he is paying the price.

Stubborn refusal to change course will cost what political capital was left.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Great! Something else to aspire to! I'm gonna start posting this on Miers threads, too, though I should do the polite thing and ask your permission first.

Baloney. Bush has done his job with his past picks to the federal courts. He's nominated mostly conservative jurists and his track record in that regard is quite good.

At the very least, Miers deserves her day before the Senate committee. They'll be plenty of time to rip her after she speaks, should she screw up. But unless serious problems are revealed, Miers will be confirmed.

The poor, pitiful, right-wing extremists thought they owned Bush just because they voted Republican in the last election. These right-wing extremists would not even agree on which person to choose, if they had the chance to choose. They do not choose. The President chooses. It's time for the poor, pitiful, right-wing, cry babies to realize they are not and never will be the President and find something new to whine about.

The more I read this kind of post the more I root for the underdog. I though conservatism and patience run together. At least be patient enough to hear the woman testify for phuqs sake.

When he's being watched. I don't understand the notion that because a politician does the right thing when his actions can be scrutinized, he can therefore be trusted to do the right thing without supervision. There aren't that many areas in life where you can do that, and politics least of all.

Will the nomination of Miers result in greater donations to the Republican Party? I don't think so.

This result could leave a mark.

I agree - - this poster is a little too new to be posting his own column here twice under two entirely different titles. That's my opinion, anyway.

The Democrats always doubted his judgment, indeed his intellect. Now the same doubts are being expressed on the right.

ROTFLMAO! and awaiting the freezing of hell.

Bush isn't ten years old and he doesn't need supervision, or your permission to choose who he wants to sit on any court. It's quite obvious, many conservatives have been waiting for the right opportunity to bash the President. John Roberts slipped under the radar with a talented and intelligent performance. There are plenty of issues to criticize this President on, but his picks to the federal courts isn't one of them. I believe Harriet Miers will turn out to be a fine justice and will uphold the original intent of the Founders.
