How about Rush Limbaugh?

He dropped out of college and he is well respected across the conservative movement.

Talk about a battle on Capital Hill! This would be the grand daddy of all fights. lol

How did they find out so much about her? You have some evidence or information about this, or are you just totally delusional?

Dellusional is thinking that you can sneak a person with 60 years of history past a Senate confirmation. By now the opposition probably knows what her favorite crayon color was at age 5; and we are supposed to buy that the whole world has been decieved? If they support her it is because she is one of them.

How would THEY know this and WE wouldn't?

I agree---but Rush has been working at being a conservative commentator for years. He constantly talks about his passion for it. I just don't see anything remotely comparable in Miers' life--at least with respect to upholding the Constitution.

I am sure that we do; but, the best arguement her supporters can make on her behalf is "trust me - I am George Bush."

[The Red Zone]

That is baseless mean trash talk. I hope you get zotted.

I'll bet the family jewels (both) that she has had at least one abortion

This kind of trash could only come from someone who was balless to begin with.

If this were MY forum, you'd be gone.

We are all capable of being something new. Millions of people migrate to new jobs every year that had nothing to do with the old one and succeed. It comes down to her ability to understand the true meaning of what the founding fathers intended and implement those ideas without imposing her own bias.

I have seen posts about where she stands on abortion and other issues and it doesn't matter or it shouldn't as long as she isn't an activist, or a globalist.

These concerns I can understand, so if that is the case then do some believe she lacks the intelligence to understand these documents? If so then that is insulting because they don't know her IQ. and chances are it will be higher than some of her opposition.

Here's a chap just spoiling to get de-testiculated.

Red Zone, I'm actually kind of sorry that this dimwitted post you responded to and the preceding one, which on the basis of no evidence other than the fact she was a young woman during the 60's, accused Miers of having an abortion (congratulations: you just made Michael Moore look sane by comparison), got deleted because I was going to point out that the hardest of the hardcore pro-lifers are invariably women who have had an abortion...

and have come to regret it every single day of their remaining lives.

[The Red Zone]

She grew up in the Roman Catholic church, which would have made such a thing difficult to do. I think we would be hearing from her or from her friends about it, if it were true.

[born in the Bronx]

We aren't all capable of becoming something new when we're 60 years old. But more to the point, from what I've read, her real abilities lie in administration and attention to technical details. These are great skills and at the level of White House Counsel require great intelligence--but they aren't the things that you look for in a SCJ. I've read most of the admiring articles---and not one of them mentions her vision, her ability to cut through complicated legal arguments, or her persuasiveness.

[FredTownWard]

I wasn't saying I believed it, Red Zone, not for a minute. I just wanted to point out that it wouldn't be any sort of a dis-qualifier for someone who apparently came over to the pro-life position in her later years. It's like those dimwit Dem's who keep pointing out that W once had a drinking problem, without recognizing the significance of his having later beaten it.

Instead, George did the unthinkable. he didn’t take a dive, but with the surprise nomination of his personal lawyer Harriet Miers, he might have done something far worse. In socio-pugilistic terminology, it appeared that Bush “took a Souter.” If Ron 'the Marred one' could cite proof, it might help, but that wasn't the purpose of the effluence spewed, now was it!

[The Red Zone]

The boorishness was when jerrypo used crude language to state he was sure she was in that position. And even with a polite "I wonder if she might" I would want to have better evidence than the time period she lived in, before floating such a speculation... good grief.
