Summary of Rush's comments:

Miers was a bad pick. Should have picked a hard-rock, proven conservative. Would have been better to have had the "fight" with the dems so they could be exposed to the American people for what they really believe. Need more than just a "vote" on the SC, need a true conservative who will change the culture on the SC. There's a reason the dems are happy with this pick. This could come back to haunt us in 2006.

Ok so Rush is no longer saying "I don't know enough about her to form an opinion yet" as he did in the 1st hour of his show today and now is coming out and clearly stating he is AGAINST confirming Meirs? If he did that, that is HUGH!

Replace the word "could" with "will" and you have my sentiments in a nut shell.

The problem is that yesterday Rush himself gave the most compelling argument against going to war against he Senate Dems over SCOTUS. The foot soldiers in our "army" would have been people like Senators Snowe, Chafee, Collins, DeWine, and Voinovich with "Sir Arlen the Valiant" leading the charge. (And who knows which side "Prince John of Arizona" would have been on!)

I just read a 700+ thread and half the posters can't understand this.
