He's not playing checkers, ya know. :-)
"You never know, this could be an elaborate rope a dope that includes indictment of his key advisor, amazingly low approval ratings, and the stunning rejection of his latest supreme court pick. :-)"
He's a genious isn't he? ;>)
> As president of the Texas Bar, she represented the feelings of the Texas Bar.
So she acted as stenographer and presenter. Boy, she's so qualified for SCOTUS, I can hardly contain myself!
For me it's more like lay-away.
"if you aren't good enough, rely on quotas.
Set asides."
Kind of appropriate since the President picked her to fill a quota, don't you think?
A politician that got herself elected.
For me it's more like lay-away.
ROFLMAO
Ya, and she was probably still a Dem then too, when she ran as a "quota queen," for the state bar leadership (well not exactly, but whatever) per your paradigm. There is nothing here, time to move on.
Closet liberal. DO NOT give her a seat on the court.
"with a more diverse array of talent and backgrounds"
Talent and background have nothing to do with it. It is all about race and ethnicity, as you know very well.
LOL!! Well, your ball is at least logical. :-)
I just don't see any way that Miers Bush can survive this.
What a stupid, stupid move. Yet he digs in deeper.
Torie wrote: "Yes, what she meant, is not what she wrote, per the extract."
This is a very good observation, and it is a huge problem with the Miers nomination. How can she influence/lead fellow justices if she can't write clear, concise opinions? We don't need a justice who can't write what she means.
You don't like my little edits?
Dammit, bad Miers...
But she was the best. Of all the presidential butt-kissing women former Texas Lottery commission members who happened to be standing next to him at the time, she was the best.
Sounds like the Dems Iraq talking points.
Makes me kinda wonder about the Pres in the same light.
Which she was nominated to, voted to, and which she accepted of her own volition.
Also, please show where she has since repudiated these views, if you are claiming she no longer holds them and/or never did.
What a wasted opportunity. To think so many of us have been waiting years for this moment.
I just can't comprehend how foolish GWB is at times. There are so many reasons why this pick is terrible, yet one why we are told it is good: Trust Me.
Huh????????????????
