maybe THAT will work

WELL said, Mr. Snow; well said!!!

Not only is W great at poker, he does not change his stripes. He has consistently appointed conservatives to the Court during his presidency (as Dr. Dobson said, he has never let us down with the Courts) and I know that Miers is a conservative. She also has character and integrity, and will not be influenced by the Washington elite.

Some of our BES judges have been justices that were not judges before they were on the SC. The Court needs the common man sometimes, and this may be one of those times. Plus, she is a Christian, and that is fantastic. I cannot imagine her ruling against what is best for the country. The more I have learned about her, the more I like her.

The upcoming confirmation hearings will determine her fate -- and the president's. If she defies expectations, George Bush will look like a genius. If the Senate rejects her nomination, his presidency will come effectively to an end.

Well, the underlined is a bit overstated, but I imagine he's saying that it "won't be good." I'd agree with that.

However, even if he gets Harriet Miers stuffed in his ear by the Senate, he is still President of the USA for the next 3 years. He still gets to veto things, sign things, nominate, appoint, act, executively order, etc.

And he'd probably have another nominee on the block within days.

This is my opinion, but formulated far better than I ever could.

I am totally in agreement with Thomas Sowell's comments. With the Democrats marching in liberal lockstep reminicent of a Red Square parade, it would only take a few defections from the ranks of the RINOs to defeat a more obviously conservative appointee.
