Nuff is no Bushbot. Take your trolling names elsewhere.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Ouch !

[Theodore R.]

Lloyd Millard Bentsen, Jr., is still living but in frail health to my knowledge.

According to everyone who knows her, she is a strict constructionist when it comes to the Constitution.

Is this what's bothering you? You want a judicial activist, do you?

[onyx]

I concur.

Our "real" conservatives are coming out of the woodwork. You know, the rather new sign-ons who call themselves "the base" --- that base who always claim we cannot win without them... as though we and POTUS are not conservatives.

[nuffsenuff]

That's a different subject.

And I'm not a Bushbot since I strongly disagree with the things you listed in your attempted diversion.

[ex-snook]

Hey I'm not outraged. I listened to the President's announcement. From what I've seen, she is OK. Maybe she is like an iceberg with 3/4 out of sight but so far so good.

[Theodore R.]

To my knowledge both long-term Senators Tower (R) and Bentsen (D) were abortion supporters.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

No kidding.

In this regard, the Fortas comparison is apt.

[Cinnamon]

I like her. this is probably MSM taunting and wanting to bleed us

My first statement was about picking a fight his own "team" wouldn't work to help him win.

Why would you think Bush's "team" -- whoever you mean by that -- wouldn't help him with Brown or Luttig? They're both well thought of, tested and trusted by conservatives.

Luttig or whatever his name wouldn't get out of committee. Wake up.

The Chamber of Commerce isn't crazy about him, but if he were the pick he'd certainly get out of committee AND be confirmed. He's a respected and not very controversial judge. You have no evidence to the contrary, just ignorant speculation.

Miers may be pro-choice but at least yall be able to keep yall guns! LOL!

Sorry troll, but Harriet is very pro life. She argued a case AGAINST abortion on demmand. You are a loser. Go back to the DUmp.

[brooklyn dave]

As I am reading the posts coming across the Freep screen, it seems like she definitely will be OK.

[onyx]

I am certain you're right. He chose wisely. Not popularly, but wisely. He knows her, and for a good, long time.

[onyx]

They both did, but I can only spell Rudman.

[Arrowhead1952]

Oh!! So sorry you got the ZOT when I was posting my earlier reply. LMAO!!!!

[Cicero]

It's good to know she's a church woman, but I don't find anything here to persuade me she'd make a good Supreme Court justice.

[stockstrader]

Let's see here, so far she: (1) Made donations to Al Gore and other democrats, (2) Is supported by many democrats, and (3) Is supported by Harry Reid who finds her acceptable (when he found Roberts UNACCEPTABLE). This choice was HARDLY a conservative one!!

The President has blown his chance to move the court to the right. This will likely be his last chance to change the court. Very disappointing, very.

[prairiebreeze]

Divide and conquer....correct. The biggest negative I have about Miers is her age, wish she were 10 years younger.

[RightWhale]

I am sure we will come to know the nominee very well in the next couple of days. So far the few snippets of information indicate an awesome person got picked.
