They will both drop by 2012 I think.

Why did this off handed remark crack me up?

I'm sitting here kinda hoping your prediction comes true. Then Bush can say'' ok Rats You don't like her, heres somebody you really won't like. And then goes ahead and names Janice Rodgers Brown or Luttig! Heres to hoping!

Now they feel let down cause instead of a sure thing like a Janice Rodgers Brown or Luttig,

JRB was filibustered by the Democrats, and if anyone let us down it was the Republicans in the Senate who allowed it to happen by being conspicuously absent from the Senate floor during the proceedings to bring the nomination to the floor for a vote. For as long as I live, I will never forget the sheer gutlessness on our side for that one particular moment in history.

We just don't know about this woman!

That doesn't justify the argument she's "unqualified".

Well, you could be right, maybe there just aren't enough Republican congressmen with the strength of character to conduct a high profile debate on our founding principles, maybe the Rats would run circles around them. Then again, that would describe the "position of weakness" that Rush mentioned. At any rate, I won't argue that position. For all I know, the president knows he can't count on the votes for a Brown. That would be a sad day.

That's something I have not seen discussed much. Getting the RINOs to support the nominee. Snowe, Specter and several others said they would not support JRB or anyone like her.

Kowtowing the repub "majority" maybe. That IS sad.

Rush Limbaugh-Video of his appearance on Greta posted here.

"She may be fine" It would seem that Rush did NOT join the Moveon.org Conservatives in their Dump Miers now dogma. He did SAY it is a lost opportunity he did NOT say she should be dumped. "Let me distance myself from those who are questioning President Bush's judgment" another example of how Rush's position on Meirs is NOT what the Moveon.org Conservatives are CLAIMING it to be. Rush did NOT say this would be trouble for Republicans in 06. He said it MAYBE trouble if this lingers on. He ended with this "Meirs is eminently more qualified as a Lawyer then Hillary ever was, I do not want people to think I am down on her" So Rush position is still the same as it was on his show today. This is a missed opportunity to have a fight with the Liberals we need to have. He does NOT say this is the wrong choice and should be dumped.

I too would have liked to deliver a knock out punch to Democrats, but I am now absolutely convinced - and I was an avowed skeptic previously - that Miers is an outstanding, smart pick. I completely believe that she is of the same cloth as Justice Thomas and Scalia.

I agree with you completely. Nevertheless, I think Rush made a strong point on his show today.

By way of analogy (mine, not Rush's), GWB has hired someone off the street to do the job rather than promote someone within the organization. That is an offense against those jurists who have "kept the faith" throughout their judicial careers.

I understand why GWB did it. I just don't respect the strategery of the move.

Thanks, Rush does raise excellent points.

I also wonder if some of the outrage on the right would be less if Pres. Bush appeared to be actively or reactively taking action on some of our pressing needs beyond Iraq. More public visibility proposing things such as more drilling, refineries, etc., and a morning news conference doesn't cut it (no one but the political junkies see that so it gets spun or lost in the media filter.) But with near silence or ineffective PR on issue after issue for months now, one sometimes gets the sense that the admin is sleepwalking. Yes, Iraq and judicial appointments are not easy things to deal with, but the admin can and does walk and chew gum at the same time. However they do an extremely poor job of communicating that.

I agree with both your points. I was responding to another poster asking what'' Rush'' had said on Gretta tonight. Those were HIS points . Not mine.

I wouldn't trust a RINO to fight the big battles for me. Seems like a lot of folks around FR expects them to, especially after what happend to JRB. The real Conservatives on our side were completely absent from the floor proceedings. Otherwise JRB wouldn't have been filibustered so damn easy, and Schumer and Kennedy would have been grease spots on the floor of the Senate.

You are being a bit of a drama queen and apparently smoking some heavy weed. People criticizing this pick are not Bush haters or MoveOn.org types.

Here's what I think will happen. the gang of 14 has announced support. Some Dem's have too. By now all of America knows the conservatives don't like her.

She walks into the hearings and shows herself to be a solid conservative. The big bloody fight ensues. But now, the dems and gang of 14 wussies have to change position. This makes the fight much easier for conservatives because all the public knows that they were in support before. Now they have to admit that their only reason for a change is that she is pro-life.

Checkmate. Bush wins.

Rush was excellent. Goes to show what a blowhard O'Reilly is [and I used to like him before he stabbed the swifties in the back for ratings].

Also nice to see Greta doing legal commentary on SCOTUS. Hey FOX! Knock off the underwear-sniffing college-coed kidnapping rubberneck. Its stupid, somewhat racially biased, and a total waste of Greta's skills. I go for the remote as soon as I hear your "missing" soundtrack come on.

So Rush, who basically has never met Harriet Miers, is disagreeing with those who have.

I never met Michael Jackson, either.

But I know he is a flaky perv.

Seriously, no one is saying Ms. Miers is a bad person or even a bad conservative.

She is just a bad pick for the US Supreme Court.

The frustrating thing is that this whole fiasco was so unnecessary.

GWB must be under too much pressure lately if he really believes this woman, as nice a born again Christian as she seems to be, is the best choice.

I think Bush may be wiser than we give him credit for. And I don't think he has made that many misteps.

I do indeed think he is brilliant politically, look where he lives.
BUT, he is a Human and he is fallible and a whole cadre of equally intelligent political Republicans feel this is indeed a mistake. The problem with this mistake is that the stakes are enormous.

The saddest thing about it is that it was a risk he did not have to take.
