Well... all the best arguments against Miers revolve around the budget, immigration, prescription meds... all those things related to... um... the... um... supreme court...?
Sure, there's some pent up hostility on the conservative side and it's all seeming to find its way to the surface in this somewhat unorthodox path of a SC nominee. But hey... the country has taken some pretty serious hits in the last few years. 9/11... wars in faraway places... destructive storms year after year at home. And yet we remain the strongest economy in the world.
It'll pass. Miers will be confirmed. I've even got a hunch that she'll be just exactly the justice we've been wishing for all these years.
I've said before and I'll say again... after some key cases have come and gone, most people here will be saying that they supported her all along.
But another thing remains true: The *big* fight for a real shift of balance in the supreme court is not with this nominee... it is with the *next* one. It is quite possible that in the next couple of years another seat, say Ginsberg's, could open up. We ain't seen nuthin' yet, until we see the fight for that seat.
You are exactly right, kind sir.
I just hope the GOP senators have the guts to do the right thing.
Oh I completely agree. I just can't wait to see the Arbitron ratings for Rush and Laura Ingraham in the next quarter. It's going to be very interesting.
Exactly right, on all counts.
