Harriet Miers the pick AP

[notes2005]

I am sorry but this is So IMPORTANT TO ME. I just had to get that off my chest. I have been studying these potential nominees for over the months. Trust me this nomination is NOT GOOD!!

[mhking]

I didn't catch the whole context but W just mentioned her work with Exodus International. If that's the case, you know the libs are going to have a major hissy fit.

I just heard this on the radio on my way home from the gym and I thought to myself, "Isn't that the group that....?" I couldn't believe that was what I was hearing, but it's true! I imagine this is going to make BIG news when everyone figures it out. :-)

I just googled their website:

"Exodus is a worldwide interdenominational, Christian organization called to encourage, strengthen, unify and equip Christians to minister the transforming power of the Lord Jesus Christ to those affected by homosexuality."

Somebody pass the popcorn -- once the MSM sees that, all hell is gonna break loose...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

To be fair, she was White House counsel. Which is a very demanding job

Bricklaying is a demanding job.

Because on its face it is awful and I don't see any mitigating facts to make this pick deserve the benefit of the doubt. Bar Association? Lottery? Political lawyer? Do these things make you hopeful?

If he was going to go outside the system to pick a new judge he could have done us all the favor and picked someone who wasn't a lawyer.

I know what you mean, but a bloodless statement of the facts would show that I donated to McGovern and voted for Carter. (ONCE!)

Now I'm a religious hard-righter.

People do change for the better. Not often -- but it happens!

"I have no comfort that he's known her for years. GWB has been married to Laura for years and she's pro-choice."

And Mary Mattland is married to James Carvill.

[Pirogue Captain]

"The sky is falling! 20 years ago she donated money to democrats when, as DeLay himself was saying the other day, Texas had a one-party system just like the rest of the South."



See post 615.

I suspect it's this Exodus:

Exodus Ministries 4630 Munger Avenue Dallas, TX 75204 Mapsco 45D

Exodus is both a challenging and gratifying ministry that seeks to encourage ex-offenders, to reunite them with their families, and to empower them to become self-sustaining, productive, Christ-centered members of society. Individuals are needed to help in the Exodus offices to serve as Bible Study leaders, computer instructors, and tutors/mentors. Professional experts, such as doctors, dentists and lawyers, are welcome at Exodus to help with both guidance and more immediate needs. Our contact at Exodus is Kristi Haithcock, who can be reached by phone at (214) 827-3772 or e-mail.

woman lawyer who has never married?

for me that is an indicator of carreer woman who want to vindicate her "single life" choice.

Does not bode well in favor of her life experience. It only indicates she has no life.

[ExtremeUnction]

I doubt she'll be any more forthcoming than Roberts was in the hearings last month.

Or that Ginsburg was in her's...Face it, the Ginsburg playbook for dealing with the hearings will apply to all fuure candidates, our and theirs.

Some news on Dr. Miers and the pro-choice issue from

http://www.timothypcarney.com/?p=156

"In 1993, after the ABA had voted to adopt a pro-choice stance, the State Bar of Texas, under Miers’ leadership, fought to have the issue put to a vote of the full ABA membership. She said:

“If we were going to take a position on this divisive issue, the members should have been able to vote.”

Grog happy. *grunt*

[proud American in Canada]

Of course, if she turns out to be a stone cold conservative, i.e. Scalia, I’m taking this all back and saying Bush was brilliant.

I agree 100% with your post.

[handy]

Al Gore in 1988. He was pro-life, then. Lloyd Benson was not a lib as an old-line Texas Democrat. I don't know where he stood on life issues.

I don't know. This is just another reason not to like this pick when you consider who he could have nominated. I feel like we just passed on several better people.

[Iscool]

So there's no progeny to consider when making decisions about the future of our country...

[RobFromGa]

Frum says she's pro life??

I will be shocked if she's not pro-life.

[pangaea6]

So David Frum knows she's pro-life? How does he know? This could change my mind knowing this for sure.

[nicmarlo]

Thanks, tx. Public Service is apparently a strong point of hers....Sen. Hutchinson was just speaking on FOX about her community activities and such (besides leadership skills, aslo a great worker behind the scenes).

[Mo1]

You and me both, Mo1....ain't fair to be condemning someone without really getting to know them first.

No it's not fair and to be honest .. this whole DOOM AND GLOOM and I'm voting for Hellary in 08 is getting really boring
