Just remember most of the people who opposed Miers were the same who opposed Roberts and oppose everything the Preisdent does. They hate him just as much as the kook left does which is why they sound more and more like them every day.

I don't think that most people who opposed her were on the left, and I certainly didn't oppose Roberts. Miers was a mistake, and we shouldn't have to pretend that everything Bush does is perfect just because he's "Republican."

I would like Jim Rob to post a poll on FR and ask "who on FreeRepublic.com knows Meirs better than President Bush?", and see what happens.
Very, very bad move, IMO to let her go; very wrong move to attack him over this. Not good at all. Sadly, I only hope the person who gets confirmed is strongly supported by those who opposed Miers, and that this person will support R.v.W. It would be the ultimate irony.

Wow talk about shill. Sorry, it was the conservative right that came out en masse to get this man re-elected. We did so while being told over and over again that is was important "now more than ever" that we do this. That if we did we would get conservative judges on the SCOTUS, and that was the only way. If you choose to put your allegiance behind the letter "R", and that alone you are a fool. No need to cry and point fingers at us, you'll once again be begging for us to win you another election down the road.

Odd, I distinctly remember applauding Robert's nomination and being antsy about Miers from day one. Perhaps you can check the posting history of myself and many other freepers to refresh your memory.

If "most" of the people who opposed Miers were also against Roberts, how come 80%+ of people polled here approved of Roberts for SCOTUS but only 30% were on the Miers bandwagon?
