STUCK-ON-STUPID saying things like "Bush is stupid", in spite of the fact that he has outfoxed his opponents time after time after time.
STUCK-ON-STUPID saying things like "I don't know what she'll do.", in spite of all the evidence otherwise.
STUCK-ON-STUPID saying things like "Bush betrayed us", inspite of nominating a conservative, strict originalist AS PROMISED.
STUCK-ON-STUPID saying things like "Let's cram a flamer down the rats throats", in spite of the fact that this approach would almost certainly result in a guaranteed defeat (thanks to RINOS).
STUCK-ON-STUPID that a 25 year conservative Christian women would not help overturn Roe.

"I don't believe I've EVER, EVER seen so much STUCK-ON-STUPID from fellow Freepers as I've seen the past several days related to the Meirs nomination."
Great post!!! let us hope more FReepers realize it!

"All the evidence" is a thin reed of conflicting philosophies, that points to a younger O'Connor more than anything else.

Words are very cheap considering that only half that thin paper trail suggests this and none of it actually supports this. I could just as easily say that Miers is a "make-it-up" liberal, and the other half of the paper trail would point in that direction.

Let's review the record. Chef Justice Roberts just sailed through with ZERO RINO defections and fully half of the 'RATs supporting him. We can't even get someone as verifiably-conservative as him now?
President Bush said that he would nominate Justices in the Thomas/Scalia mold, NOT that he would replace like with like. While I do give him the benefit of the doubt with the original Roberts-for-O'Connor pick, and give him a pass for changing that to the like-for-like Roberts-for-Rehnquist (though not Chief Justice) due to a pressing need for 9 Justices, I can't excuse him not elevating Thomas or Scalia to Chief Justice, and I have to call him out on replacing like for like in this instance.
You may be satified with replacing O'Connor with O'Connor. If so, not even Gen. Honore can help that.
