They are angry, dismayed and disheartened, but, more importantly, concerned for the fate of the Supreme Court.
The conservative reaction against President Bush’s nomination of untested White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court was so universal and intense that it erupted at each of the two separate meetings of activist leaders held Wednesday by Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist and Free Congress Foundation Chairman Paul Weyrich.
At the Norquist meeting, conservatives targeted their ire at former Republican National Chairman Ed Gillespie, who is working with the White House on Supreme Court nominations. At the Weyrich meeting, Republican National Chairman Ken Mehlman and Tim Goeglein, White House liaison to the conservative community, found themselves in the crosshairs.

In your dreams. I doubt a real man would be interested in you. But good use of the talking points you and your anti-freeper friends use.
You are just going to have to snag a man some other way, I have no desire for a disingenuous woman such as you.
And for the record I never have stalked anyone. Oh some here and at your anti site are trying to paint me with that brush but the truth will come out eventually.
Of course because your AFer friend daughterof her dad calls me a stalker you jump on the band wagon with out any facts to back you up.
Here is one of your heroes:
Up yours, you cyber-stalking, multiple-screen name using lying sack of crap.

Of course you know him as Denver.
That's when your buddy daughterof her dad chimed in with this gem:
"Don't waste your time on this stalking freak."
Nice people you hang out with, keep supporting them it shows where your priorities are.
Oh, is HLL Tame's Mom and what is your name over at cp?
:>)
What in the hell is wrong with you?
Sick
You decided to support someone that has attacked me for years.
You jumped in and supported her lies and false accusations.
Sorry I don't roll over when people do those kind of things.
Just back off and apologize for your personal attacks.
If you can't take the heat then don't post stupid posts to me supporting people that make false accusations.
Are you aware of the thread topic you are posting on?
You arrived and are taking whatever issues you have and dragging them all over God's creation.
I think you are funny, sick and sad. You have no idea what you are talking about but are angry and want to project your shortcomings onto others.
I made some valid points on the Miers issue on this thread. Take your obsessions somewhere else. The apology is one owed to me. How dare you think I owe one to you.
If you are dealing with a finite number of people, say 10, you do not think one would be the Best? How about the top two? Top Three?
This was the accomplishment the President used to defend her today.
Alberto Gonzales was President Bush's White House Counsel for 5 years, a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court, and Secretary of State for then Governor Bush of Texas. And he is now the Attornery General of the United States
C. Boyden Gray was the White House Counsel for George H. W. Bush and is the founder of "The Committee for Justice"

Theodore Olsen was the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel from 1981 to 1984 in the Reagan Administration. He was the Solicitor General for President George W. Bush and also the person President Bush turned to to try his case Bush V. Gore before the Supreme Court.
He did not choose Miss Miers to represent him in what is arguably the most important case of his life.
Right now there are 50 people who are lawyers to Governors. Also, President Clinton had 5 White House Counsels in 4 years all of whom are still living.
But his article is not about what a great nominee Miss Miers is, it is a rationalization for WHY the President made the choice he did.
It is important to note that Mr. Sowell does not know for a fact this is the President's reasoning and it is an OPIONION piece.
I am not at all interested in whether the President made a wise choice, I want to know if SHE IS A WISE CHOICE.
And you listed a grand total of three other attorneys. So Miers is in an elite group.
Thanks for making my point for me.
And Olsen had experience arguing before SCOTUS, so he was a logical choice in that particular case.
Gee, msnimje, I was sure trying to hide those sentiments by putting this statement into my conclusion:
Does Sowell like this reality? Apparently not. Do I like it? No. I would love to see Bush, in a post-nuclear-option Senate, ram JRB down the Dem's throat. But he cannot. That is the reality here. Sowell is smart enough to realize that.
Yeah, I'm really being deceptive her.
But once again, Bush was not going to be able to get JRB through the current Senate. You can pretend otherwise all you want. But that's the friggin' truth.
Which makes all your other bluster immaterial.
I am sorry, I thought the PRESIDENT got to name the nominee. That is where I have been mistaken.
I see you stubbornly refuse to accept reality. Which is the main problem with even debating you.
If the Gang of 14 did not accept her, the Dems could filibuster. They might not have even needed if the RINOs were to indicate that they would not confirm the nominee.
That's the whole point. Bush can nominate anyone he wants. BUT HE NEEDS TO GET THEM FRIGGIN' CONFIRMED.
You act like he nominates someone and they are sitting on the court the next day, no senate action needed.
Dr. Dobson was 'summoned' to the White House for a briefing on Harriet M., since he'd begun to waffle on his enthusiasm for her. I can't imagine any democrat voting for an Evangelical Christian, especially one who seems to be pro-life. She may not make it through the process, in which case Bush will be in a weaker position and may not have the stomach to nominate a strong conservative with a paper trail.
These are a few of the ones I know of but I would assume the President and his staff have far better resources than me so they could find dozens if not hundreds more.
This is the attitude of a wimp and that is why I voted for George W. Bush, because he was not a wimp.
It is not the attitude of a wimp. It is the attitude of a man with wimps on his flank in the Senate. They wimped out over the nuclear option.
I see you missed that part of Sowell's column.
You are entitled to your opinion. That does not inoculate you from criticism when your opinion is off-base. And you've done your best to make snarky barbs against those who believe differently - so don't whine when you get such returned at you.
And here are a few Conservative Republican women better suited to sit on the Supreme Court than Harriet Myers:
And I've already expressed my opinion that those candidates would not get past the Gang of 14. Your opinion may vary. And that is what this boils down to. However, if you want civil debate, quit belittling the qualifications that Miers does have, and quit calling Bush a wimp - because he's fought hard over other issues (fights that sometimes I disagree with, but that does not make him a wimp, just wrong in that circumstance).
I did not miss his point, I adimantly disagree with it.
James Taranto wrote: The GOP has 55 senators, so six of them would have to vote "no" to defeat a nominee. Coincidentally, that is the number of Republicans who voted against Robert Bork in 1987. But liberal Republicans were more numerous then.
Today there are just three GOP liberals, all from New England--Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine--who seem likely to vote against a too-conservative nominee.
Only one Bush judicial appointee, an Arkansas district judge named Leon Holmes, has ever received a negative vote from any Republican other than the New England trio.
Virtually any nominee other than Judge Holmes, then, seems assured of at least 52 votes.
I was a strong supporter of Pres. Bush. I can no longer support him. Doing nothing about illegals, spending like a drunken sailor, rehabilitating Bill Clinton, failure to veto McCain-Feingold (and any other bill)Brown at FEMA,no WMD, lack of vision on Iraq, the nomination of Harriet Miers, etc. have all been major disappointments.
