Ann Counter is a media whore... she says the most outrageous things just to promote controversy and her book.
One of the best points about Harriet Meiers is that she will be confirmed. Most of other candidates mentioned have long paper trails. They would be opposed by the usual suspects, the Dems, but also by the RINOs like the Maine Twins.
John Fund said it best. Almost the only person who could get confirmed in this poisoned atmosphere is someone who has been in the witness protection program.
So what if they don't get confirm? What is this can't we all get along BS. If they don't confirm one send up an even more right leaning justice. Put the Supreme Court in limbo. Will the country fail? be torn apart? I doubt it. or maybe we might actualy exposed what the left means by the phrase out of the mainstream
