Harriet Miers

[RWR8189]

Bush is not even calling her a constructionist as he did at the Roberts announcement.

I do not have very high hopes.

[ovrtaxt]

Figures. I'm abandoning the GOP to go farther right. I knew there was something wrong with you.

[moonman]

ditto. Welcome aboard.

[Cboldt]

How do we know she is pro-choice? Let's see evidence before we make such a claim.

Her personal opinion is irrelevant, -IF- she subordinates her judicial opinions to the Constitution and legislative intent.

[cbkaty]

BUSH SUCKS

This is all I need to know about your maturity.....

[SpringheelJack]

Maybe Bush picked her out of loyalty but knows she will never be confirmed.

If that's so then Bush is a real scumbag. No one puts their friends or loyal employees through the humiliation of a confirmation defeat which they know they cannot overcome.

Why on earth do you think the democrats will filibuster her or vote her down?

[safisoft]

he just might be as stupid as they say

No one ever accused RINOs of being smart.

[chris1]

You have not sobered up yet have you? If she sails through, that whole plan goes right down the toilet.

[nicmarlo]

President saying Mier's "will not legislate from the bench" and that he's "known her for more than a decade" and "knows her heart." So, why did he pick her and not Brown?

[Rebelbase]

She seems to be a bit older than Roberts. Does she have a grown son who will dance at this announcement?

[NeoCaveman]

so has this not been announced yet? i heard this driving in, just got here and am frantic to hear if it is definitely her!

You have heard more news than I have today. Until I hear the announcement from the White House, I'll stay skeptical.

Besides it is way too early in the morning for me to call the POTUS a lame cronyistic pol.

[Terpfen]

Regrettably, it seems most 3rd parties tend to be more toward the Cindy Sheehan mentality on the WoT.

Agreed. The Constitution Party would be pretty nice if it didn't articulate 1800s-era theories of American defense.

[stan_sipple]

And how many times has the Prez mentioned Sandra Day OConnor? Harriet Miers is David Souter in skirts (at least during working hours.)

[ConservativeMan55]

She's OOOOOOOOLDDD!!!

[Preachin']

She also gave to Kay Bailey Hutchison, who is pro-infanticide.

[msnimje]

By never having been a judge...

I seems to me that Staying in a Holiday INN last night does not prepare one to serve on the Supreme Court.

[July 4th]

The only bright side to all of this is that she's not Gonzales.
