If you can't see the danger in nominating a professional bootlicking administrator to the SCOTUS, well, then you'll get the country you deserve, dirtboy.
Bush made his promise, and he didn't keep it. He didn't say that he'd nominate jurists like Scalia and Thomas only if dirtboy thinks they'd pass the Senate. He promised to nominate those types of judges and he broke his promise.
History will record this nomination as another disaster for anyone who opposes pushing the leftist's socialist agenda through the court system. A capitulation by President Bush which will reflect very poorly and for a long time to come on Republican leaders in general.
I know my circle of influence will gladly hear me out on this.

In other words, you cannot cite her positions, so you defame Miers.

Once again, do the math. Snow and Collins want a woman on the court, as do many RINOs. 55 pubbies - 7 RINOs = failed nominee. The math is that simple. From what I am seeing, Miers has converted to evangical Christianity and will be a pro-life vote. She will also probably take her direction from Roberts on many other issues. If something comes along that indicates she is liberal, I will take that into consideration. However, I've seen nothing that supports your contention.

I love this. It's been less than five hours since the nomination. We don't know much to judge her on. And you're already writing history. What a tool.

And how many are in your bridge club?
Hmmm ... where else have I seen this argument today?
"I do not know Ms. Miers well and I did not meet her until recently, six months after she became the White House counsel," he said. "What I do know is that she has a reputation for being loyal to this president, whom she has a long history of serving as a close adviser and in working to advance his objectives.
"In an administration intent on accumulating executive power, Ms. Miers' views on - and role in - these issues will be important for the Senate to examine," said Leahy. "It is important to know whether she would enter this key post with the judicial independence necessary when the Supreme Court considers issues of interest to this administration."
Nice company you're keeping there, Mr. Rock-Ribbed conservative...
I'll wait for more information before passing judgement.
