They liked her better when she only criticized Democrats....

I don't dislike Ann

I just want to hear a reasonable explaination of why Meirs is a bad choice other then "we don't know anything about her"

That is not a reason

How are we suppose to learn anything if we don't give her a chance to speak???

Surely you jest.

"We don't know anything about her" is a much better reason than "Just trust me."

People on this forum want to talk about Bush's fight. This is not Bush's fight. It is Meir's fight just like it would have been Ms. Brown, etals fight. We aren't at all sure any of the recently approved appellate judges wanted to go another round.

With all do respect I have to disagree with you. Dubya should not have nominated stealth candidate just to please Democrats and RINOS. Conservatives worked very hard to get Dubya elected because we believed that among other things he would nominate a conservative justice in the mold of Scalia and Thomas -- not because we thought he would nominate a stealth candidate who might turn out to be a Scalia or a Warren!!

Republicans won the Presidency, the House, the Senate, a majority of the State legislatures and Governorships and Bush can't get his judges seated. The DemoRats filibustered numerous conservative judges for four years and have forced Dubya to nominate Harry Reid's candidate. That is pretty hard to understand? It makes a lot of us pretty darn upset.

Why do Republicans like Bush just cave-in? Did you see DemoRats worry about nominating Ruth Bader Ginsburg? No, they even talked Republicans into voting for her -- Something like 98-2. Why can't we demand the same type of compliance when we win elections? Why do Republicans give up so easily?
