just breaking!!!!!!!!
Geez Louise!
What the heck do you think she has been ding for the last three years or so?
This is one of her primary functions at the WH, and she vetted Roberts, and all the other picks for the Appeals Courts!
So she needs to be fired now???
Is that what you are suggesting????
I'm almost catatonic. I have never witnesses so much off the wall comments in one place, other that DU.
I am just flabbergasted at some of the thinking here. Just amazed.....
Weren't you just leaving, Cold Heart?
Heh, heh....:-)
Do you practice being a jerk, or does it come naturally...?
I am always so impressed with your comments. They are so reflective and show a high degree of thoughtfulness and knowledge.
ooooopps! I forgot the obligatory sarcasm tag!
You seem to need me to point out your mistakes.
I don't mind........really...
Echo chambers are dangerous places for the truth and for rationality.
There is quite a large one over here.
It would be cruel to ask Ms.Miers to find another nominee this time 'round and it is difficult to believe the President is that insensitive. One would also think he could choose from others on the list and it is unnecessary to recruit her assistance for the selection.
LOL.
Like the pro-miers "we trust the president" echo chamber that failed to drum the opposition into silence with their cries of "sexists" and "elitists"?
Earth to Cold Heart.
To vet is not to choose.
Pick up a dictionary while you are out.
All he has to do is tap Janice...
" This is one of her primary functions at the WH, and she vetted Roberts, and all the other picks for the Appeals Courts!"
WRONG! That has been debunked.
The vast majority of the vetting and nominations took place long before harriet miers was in the position to do the vetting.
" What the heck do you think she has been ding for the last three years or so?"
She has been staff secretary for most of that time.
She has been white house counsel for under a year.
Agreed. She is the number one pick for a lot of us.
LOL! Good point.
Now you may be on to something...I too thought this. Maybe Miers would have been quite a trustworthy judge, not putting herself in front of the constitution. Well that thought is now irrelevant.
She is, and has been a valuable member of the WH team that has put together the nominees. Nobody can debunk that!
If you think that this White House has not been trying to do what everyone here wants about the courts, you are sadly mistaken.
Miers was to be part of a team on the bench that will be led by Roberts to reform the case law that brought us Roe and other debacles. The court is not effective unless a majority can work together on specific issues that require the overturning of past law that the left calls "settled".
Miers was to play a supportive roll in that effort. There is a lot more to a good court that will work in our best interests and nine prima donna's can never pull it off.
Let Bush do what we hired him to do, or you will have nothing with which to be proud of. You will end up with the same result you have gotten on immigration.
That would be nothing, in case you have not noticed. Enjoy your supposed victory here, as it has accomplished nothing and you put your foot into a attempt to do exactly what you wanted done.
Keep micro managing the efforts by the admin from the bleacher seats and you will foul the entire second term effort and Bush's legacy.
vetted
Curvet \Cur"vet\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Curveted or -vetted; p. pr. & vb. n. Curveting or -vetting.] [Cf. It. corvettare. See Curvet, n.] 1. To make a curvet; to leap; to bound. ``Oft and high he did curvet.'' --Drayton.
2. To leap and frisk; to frolic. --Shak.
Nobody else does that.
Vetting and what Miers did and does was to take potential candidates, give them questionaires and the like to fill out, and process them to the various places that check them for accuracy. I suspect her opinion counts as well, but she does not choose. Cluck, cluck!
Anyone seen Cold Heart lately?
Who?
you need to do a little more research about what she has been doing and when.
The vast majority of judges were vetted and nominated before she was the one doing the vetting. Look it up.
