Yes, he was the Head of the College Of Cardinals before being elevated into the Papacy.

Miers is the conservative activist's Mystery Date. I only wish this weren't so serious.

It takes a lot of chutzpah to label over 25% of Freepers "same old malcontents and unappeasables". Try not to overinflate your importance; it's not 25 percent of Freepers who are doing the carping here.
But it IS the ones who are continually harping about SOMETHING, ANYTHING that doesn't go their way.
And as I said, most of them never supported Bush in the first place.
You don't even pretend to care about insulting 25% of the poll respondents on FR, or the effects that has on debate and discussion here.
I don't suppose you consider it an insult to imply that the other 75 percent of us who don't agree with this mad rush to judgment and condemenation you all are so hell bent on are not "real" or "true" conservatives, and don't care or know about the Constitution or moral values or the United States Supreme Court, blah blah blah, right?

Perhaps she will recuse herself from judging the constitutionality of these war decisions. Leaving a potentially deadlocked court? This possibility makes the choice all the worse.

"Liberty and freedom are the fundamental truth of human existence."
Perhaps you do not know you sound just like Rousseau, Danton, Robespierre, Marx the younger, Proudhon, Bakunin, and the Social Revolutionaries so efficiently liquidated by Lenin?
Leftist, man, stone cold hard core Leftism. Shoot, don't forget Ho Chi Minh and Mao Tse Tsung. "But not ME, I am not lying! They were, not me!!" That is what every last one of those guys said, troop.

The recusal issue is significant. What happens when Miers cannot protect us because of her prior work protecting us?
To: JerseyHighlander
She's been preparing for weeks, war rooming, using mock nomination scenarios, getting the questions she'll be asked fed to her by friendly Republicans on the CommitteeAn absolute lie; she didn't know until Sunday night.

I thought only horse wore blinders, but I have my doubts over that couple of days.
This all reminds me of children who want a particular toy so bad that the rip through the gifts on Christmas morning searching for it, and when they don't find the one they want the rest of the gifts are pure garbage and they start crying.
A couple of days later you find them out back playing with all the nice toys they received and not one complaint.
lol

I would put emphasis on the "sixty years without expressing an opinion on a controversial subject" portion of my statement.
In other words, Ratzinger was a known quantity before his elevation to the papacy.
To: Petronski
If you don't have the answer to that question, you'll either willfully obtuse or you're sorely ill-informed.

and when they don't find the one they want the rest of the gifts are pure garbage and they start crying. I actually saw somebody post the other night, "And so what if she does vote to overturn Roe v. Wade; how will she vote on other issues?"
Duh.

Well, finally.
It's good to see you're big enough to admit you need to get a clue.

Well, I think your logic is flawed, and here is why:
As a close confidant, and advisor to President Bush in many matters of national security, she will have to RECUSE herself from all of those decisions.
War powers. Treatment of detainees. Torture policies. Role and authority of a wartime president. Etc.
I think her appointment is a smack in the mouth to conservatives who have given their time, sweat, and treasure to change the ever drifting social fabric of American Society.

Ratzinger was a known quantity before his elevation to the papacy.To a degree. Much like Miers. Most Catholics on FR (I'm not one) had no clue which direction he would take the Church. His Homily at his Papal Installation Mass gave an indication just where he wanted the Church to go, which is in the same direction as JPII set it upon.

I think I remember Fred Barnes talking about some conservative pundit who said that even if she votes the correct way on all the issues she would still be considered unworthy of Supreme Court Justice.
I think the issue was snobbery by the IVY League grads.
