Exactly. How much credence did ABC give to this society a month ago, when Judge Roberts was facing the Senate?
Gawd, this is like being back in third grade.
Memo to the unnamed staffers, if they are indeed doing this (and this is from ABC, so there is no guarantee of such).
Make your case publicly as to why Miers should not be the nominee. Be sure to use your resources to figure out any related Senate confirmation issues. Also, give us YOUR qualifications that you want, so we in turn can debate those.
Uh oh! Another right wing coup in the works!
Talk radio is responsible for spreading this hate! (/s)
I can't wait to hear Rush/Hannity today...
"I don't know if by mere quotation I can fully convey the relentless march of vapid abstractions that mark Miers's prose& Throw aside ideology. Surely the threshold skill required of a Supreme Court justice is the ability to write clearly and argue incisively. Miers's columns provide no evidence of that."
Here's the link to all of the PDFs of the columns that Miers wrote for Texas Bar Journal. LINK
Now ABC News is running to them for scoops!
You are so busy shooting the messenger, that you are missing the message.
So true. We have discovered our own "whining class" amongst the conservative movement.
I normally hate the FR polls, but I think the current poll is somewhat instructive. Those opposed to Miers have not broken through the 30% ceiling, despite weeks of antagonistic arguing on the issue. Most FReepers seem to be solidly in the "yay" or "let's see what the hearings reveal" camps, and I don't think that's going to change until the hearings. Hence the increasing frustration of the "whining class".
David Brooks and his faux outrage on the NY Slimes editorial page, I'll pass! (thank goodness his column is pay-per-view only now)
Coup? Rather a poor choice of words.
Sortal like when the MSM discovered Judicial Watch after they sued Cheney
I'm tuning in to Laura Ingraham to see what she has to say...
Geez, I wonder why some people would not want to be on the "short list"?
I normally hate the FR polls, but I think the current poll is somewhat instructive. Those for Miers have not broken through the 30% ceiling, despite weeks of antagonistic arguing on the issue.

Hence the increasing frustration of the "kool-aid class".
I'm starting to believe Dobson's statement that many people on the list (something like 80%) passed on the nomination before Miers.
And her being a partner in a major law firm at the time of the writing, I also suspect she would have had an associate draft the columns - I doubt she was much more than an editor. That's what partners do in most law firms - the associates do virtually all of the work and the partners "make rain".
They're only hurting themselves when they stoop to this leftist-style politics of personal destruction. Harriet Miers has a solid record as a hard-working lawyer. Critics should stick to valid arguments like unknown judicial philosophy and not attack the woman personally.
If you continue along this route, all you will succeed in doing is making sure that if any nominee in the future is connected in any way to the Federalist Society, they will be passed over for nomination to any federal judgeship.
