I did not know trial lawyers and lottery commissioners could be evangelical Christians.

LOL

She's an evangelical according to World Magazine Blog:

Miers has been a member of Valley View Christian Church in Dallas for 25 years, where Hecht has been an elder. He calls it a “conservative evangelical church… in the vernacular, fundamentalist, but the media have used that word to tar us.”


On abortion, choosing his words carefully for an on-the-record statement, he says “her personal views are consistent with that of evangelical Christians… You can tell a lot about her from her decade of service in a conservative church.”

Sometimes a "name" is just a name....and not the whole story about someone...

OK...let me emphasize something here...

Given Dukakis' positions (Pro-abortion, anti-second ammendment)...does ANYONE think that she was donating to someone she was philosophically OPPOSED to?!

Now, can you possibly refute that?

See, Zell was endorsing Bush...he WASN'T endorsing his party's guy!

Miers WAS giving $$$ to GWB's DAD'S opponent 3 DAYS before the election!

Don't tell me she gave money to Dukakis, THEN had some epiphany! She became a WEATHERVANE...the political winds in TEXAS shifted!

"So right now, we can either whine and moan like a bunch of old ladies, or we can pray this woman is a real firm conservative, like everyone who knows her has come out and said she is, and support her"

2 more hours time hasn't led me yet to make a snap decision about support. I see no harm in waiting for facts to reveal themselves before either panicking or cheering.

Some things in life require instant decisions. This isn't one of them.

If conservative from birth becomes the test, we will be a small party indeed.

1) The pick needs to be confirmed by a very squishy GOP Senate, and

2) The media will never allow a fair playing field for GWB to wage the battle everyone seems to be itching for.

I have to trust GWB on this one. He's known her for a long time.

Definitely! I frankly do not think the Republican Senate majority has the b***s to really dig in and fight to confirm a pryor or Luddig known hard conservative. There are easily five Republican Senators who wouldn't have the spine to vote for her on the floor. Meek does not mean weak, and I have a lot of faith in the many people (Sekulo, Hecht, etc) who have come out today and backed Miers up. I will reserve total judgement till some time has passed. IF we had gotten a big fight over a Luddig or Pryor, we could well have been bitten in the butt by the milk toast RINOs in the Senate, and been forced to have another moderate like o'conner. Moderates who do not take Christian conservative principle seriously, do NOT attend a very conservative evangelical church for over a decade like Miers has done. She's proven her ideological character in that church, and you cannot be a genuine evangelical Christian and be a liberal judicially. The latter is defined by the prior. I am a ideological conservative Constitutional Republican because I am first an evangelical Christian. By all accounts, the same applies to Miers.

Miers needs to be given the benefit of the doubt.

Of course. How do we think the libs are going to react when they discover that she is an evangelical Christian, if that is in fact the case.

There is plenty of evidence that a sizable portion of your profession knows little about justice, The Constitution or the law. There are plenty of folks without a legal degree who know more about the law.

I completely agree. I have to socialize and argue with these peoeple, everyday.

However, this is my point with respect to Meirs. Everyone is yammering how she is unqualified. I am the one who is saying being a SCOTUS justice isn't rocket science.

And I also agree that there are folks on here who know a more than I do about the law and legal process. It's just hard to sort through with the unrestrained nonsense that is being posted here.

Can you imagine the next EIB commercial on Miers?

Harriet Miers is a CHRISTIAN (christian)...
She believes that someone can rise from the dead (the dead)
Sponsored by friends of George Soros.

I'm sure we'll be hearing that commercial soon.

"Typical day on Free Republic. A good percentage of this forum will trash anyone who doesn't hold their narrow minded view of what a "conservative" should be. They are the same ones who always claim they support the President but most never have and either do not vote or vote third party."

This is what I don't understand. I consider Pryor and Luddig, etc., to be "my kind of conservative", and I want the kind of conservative on the court that all the Bush/Miers-bashing conservatives here want. But so far, I'm encouraged and comfortable with Miers after knowing her life past 15 years, and all the very strong conservative Christians who have come out loudly supporting her. So what is it that is the difference between me and the bashing conservatives here today? Is it only my being ruled by rationality based on fact, and not emotion based on assumption? I was initally po'd at Bush, but then read who was backing her, and what she's been doing the past 15 years, and I like what I have seen and heard and read.

There's something else about this that bothers me, more than not knowing her judicial views.

Yup. The standard for a GOP President to get a candidate appointed has been set; Only nominate a stealth candidate.

"And that is the message to all conservative judges that if you show courage at lower court levels, stick your neck out for strict constructionism, you will have no chance for advancement."

And yet, Scalia is still a SC Justice. Kinda blows a hole in that theory.

Somebody posted an article in News/Activism about Clarence Thomas beig a "stealth" nominee in the beginning, trying to make the point that at first his judicial philosophy was not known.

During the hearings we got all the sexual allegations, etc., but the point of the article was, I think, that there were no published reports detailing Thomas' positions.

Is this true?????????

I know you well enough to know that you don't go off the deep end...

I think most of us Bush fans are a little bit down today...but NOT OUT...

BTW, I just know heard the Cheney interview, because I get Rush's show an hour later than most, and he made a point I had thought of...

When Rush and others point out to the pool of great judges at the Circuit and Appeals level that Bush could have chosen from....WE NEED THEM THERE...because most of the really bad ones are coming from the lower level (minus emienent domain and RoevWade, of course)...

We need some good judges to keep some of the stupid stuff from making it to the Supreme Court level....

Maybe we can console ourselves that way, a little bit. Huh, yeah, maybe, just a little...????

LOLOL...oh thank you for making me laugh.

Put a 'f'ing robe on him, then he'll be distinguished.

To this day I remain a fan of Nixon so this is especially delicious.

OMFG!!!!! From that same webpage:

For instance, she apparently submitted the following report to the ABA's House of Delegates. Here are two of the report's recommendations:

Supports the enactment of laws and public policy which provide that sexual orientation shall not be a bar to adoption when the adoption is determined to be in the best interest of the child. ...

Recommends the development and establishment of an International Criminal Court.
