Harriet lost my support when I read somewhere that she supports killing puppies.
To: Sub-Driver
First indication I have read that Schumer is afraid of her being confirmed. He just can't quite bring himself to admit it's her Evangelico side that he finds worrisome.

Looks like the conservative intellectuals have gotten their way. It will be interesting to see if the result is a more conservative nominee or a more liberal one. I'm betting more liberal.

It is a truly sad day when I am reduced to cheering Schumer.
And before anyone tries it, Guilt by Association is a logical fallacy.

I don't care, so long as its a more qualified one.
Though it's hard to speculate considering Miers's known ideological record is like Jeckyl and Hyde.
Having been burned once now, my guess would certainly be that Bush will be more careful to select a known conservative at least.

I really don't think the President is looking to repeat this experience. The next nominee will be of indisputible quality.
To: Brilliant
So you think Bush is spiteful?
That would be quite little of him to throw a lefty in there.

If Miers is such a terrible choice for the Supreme Court, why would such anuses as Schumer and Dean, oppose her???
Reverese psychology? Yeah, right! Like the dims are that clever.

To: All
Way too many contorted rationales floating about. So much ego invested in wanting Miers stopped. It's generating stuff like:
I don't care if the next one is liberal, as long as the qualifications are superb.
What sense does this make? The point is to move the court to the right. If that happens in stealth form how is that bad? The Constitution does not require a Justice to even be a lawyer. Worshipping credentials over personal inclinations doesn't make much sense.
Hell, if you worship credentials over inclination, you will have someone who elevates stare decisis to lofty heights and believes that it can carry the day when there is an issue not explicitly addressed in the constitution.

Why more liberal? Don't you trust GWB to nominate conservatives?

I trust Bush. But I don't trust the Senate. Whoever gets nominated has got to get a majority of the Senators, and I don't think there are enough conservatives to win an outright war over a conservative nominee.
To: Sub-Driver
Sure funny how the people purportedly most concerned through the years about prejudice are now the first to prejudge Miers before her confirmation hearings.
Liberals never let truth get in the way of their anti-American agendas.
I'm eagerly anticipating her hearings....much more so than the Roberts' show.
