The left is making a lot of popcorn watching this fight.
President Bush will not withdraw the nomination. But we need some real evidence that Miers is an originalist or she will have to be defeated.
I don't care if the children are enjoying the parents fighting. This is too important.
If she doesn't withdraw, she's one tough lady.
I think people are making too much of this. Plenty of Supreme Court nominees have had to withdraw or been defeated because of lack of support within the President's party.
Can't have that, can we?
Yes, there's been too much made of it. It appears that most of the whining is about her lack of ivy league pedigree, that she's single, and a recently converted Catholic. :O
Appoint Janice Rogers Brown and put Harriet Miers in her spot on the DC Court of Appeals. Brown has already been questioned extensively by the Senate and Miers has been virtually approved by Harry Reid & Co., making her a shoo-in for the lower court.
I see you're still trying to fire up 'ol sparky' and send Miers to the "chair".
"I think people are making too much of this. Plenty of Supreme Court nominees have had to withdraw or been defeated because of lack of support within the President's party."
Such as?
If the prez wants her and believes in her along the with likes of her own pastor, Dr. Dobson, Jay Sekulow and others, Miers sounds good to me. In the last decades, judicial restraint is really required.
As long as Republicans "keep cannibalizing one another," he said, "Democrats can sit back and watch it happen and then pick among the rubble afterward."Boy are they going to be surprised to learn that all parts of the rubble are against THEM. LOL
i am a good christian too
can i have the next spot on scotus
i love bush but this blind loyalty is bad for the country
Amen

What is the basis for your apparent belief that Miers has adopted the judicial restraint philosophy? Personally, I've read everything I can find about her background and don't see any evidence of it whatsoever. To me, being asked to believe it because Bush and others "vouch" for her is vastly insufficient given the importance of the nomination and the long list of names of people who have proven their adherence to judicial restraint. I think this nomination was profoundly misguided.
"If she doesn't withdraw, she's one tough lady."
Or another stubborn RINO.
