[Mr. Lucky]

Slow day at your house?

[xJones]

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.

[NormsRevenge]

Let the process play out and the Senate decide.

There will be other openings soon enough, imo..

[cynicom]

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.

>>>>President Bush has blundered badly ...

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.

[BushisTheMan]

Get a grip

[abclily]

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.

[DogBarkTree]

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.

[ncountylee]

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

This result could leave a mark.

[EGPWS]

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.

We already had this discussion today:

"The very character of the nominee that is emerging is that of a follower not a leader."

Exactly. There is nothing outstanding about this nominee, except perhaps her ability to reveal little about herself and further her career with some well placed, albeit juvenile, brown-nosing.

[FreeRep]

Why do some conservatives, consciously or unconsciously oppose her? Could it be her religion? Why do so many want to "burn her at the stake" before the confirmation hearing?
I think anytime a conservative, prolife person, can get on the bench, we should support it, not gripe about which school she went to.

[dighton]

Official mascots of the Miers threads.

[Pop Fly]

There was an interesting blurb today on this new blog I came across, Dallasblog.com, basically saying Miers has all the hallmarks of a Rove pick. They gave an interesting explanation for why they feel that way.

[NixonsAngryGhost]

This is nothing less than the final break with true Conservatives and the GWB Neoconsrvative administration. Its been coming but in retrospect all the signs of Neoconservatism
which is not American Conservatism- there:http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/001679.html

[Unicorn]

I say bullshit.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

MSM wanted the same many here wish for, an all out Armageddon type battle. From which the senate RINOs would have run like hell from.

Will be interesting to see if the senate pubbies who voted overwhelmingly for RB Ginsburg, will now vote against Miers. The RINOs knew all of RBG leftist ways, if they now vote against Miers, claiming they don't know enough about her, it will be hypocrisy of the highest magnitude.
