"Rush said Wednesday 'I am opposed to this nomination.'"
Sorry 'bout that--excuse me for including Rush in MY post, then.
Brownback and Sowell, however, seem to be on the fence--especially since both sides on this thread include Sowell in their camp.
It would be a good idea if both sides would realize that, while having allies is a good thing, utilizing logical argument to convince your opponent of the righteousness of your cause (instead of trading illogical comments like insults and ally lists) is better.
You're right.
Beyond that, the other defense of her nomination I've read is that she might be a Texas cowgirl, and if she is this is a plus because we have enough know-it-alls on the Court already. OK, you can sort of see the point in this argument.
But really, is this what a SCOTUS nominee is supposed to look like? Not a bad lawyer and not too smart or too qualified?
Why don't we stop sending over in-shape Marines and soldiers to fight and instead send over fat slobs in poor health. I'm sick of all these well-trained, prepared soldiers fighting for America.
The logic of "unqualified, inexperienced and maybe not smart enough makes a great nominee" absolutely confounds me.
