Just count how many Dems vote FOR her. I do not see any way that she is stopped. I can only seek comfort in the fact that maybe, some many years from now, we can have this issue to crush the RINOs who pretend they are conservative... but I doubt it, we have been betrayed so many times before and always a new generation comes up that finds it easier to close their eyes and pretend that they are not being used or duped. We have had this abomination of an income tax for 90 years because of that, and likely abortion will mark its 50th and gay mariage its 20th. Thanks Bush!!
>>>Bush is starting to make Carter look like a world leader.
>>>The parallels are astounding!
WRONG, Carter runs from rabbits and didn't spend as much as Bush.
But I'm starting to think their hubris level is comparable.
Hoppy
It doesn't effect your argument about miers, but Roberts had no real record to show he was an originalist, and his answers on the question suggested he wasn't ideologically originalist. Being versed in constitutional law does not itself reveal one's judicial philosophy.
That is why many here still are wary of Roberts. And therefore why they see this not as the first bad nomination, but the 2nd.
Typical conversation:
GW: I'm going to nominate Harriet Miers.
WH Aide: What will the Conservatives think and do?
GW:Who cares. They have to go along, Where can they go?
Having voted for the man as many times as I have been able, (4) I hate to think he would be that cynnical. But this nomination reeks. Especially when there was some doubt (still is) about Roberts.
He says the charges are politically motivated.
Well that explains that.
Libs will use the indictment even when DeLay is acquitted. The seriousness of the charge.
I hope at some time that as more conservatives occupy DA positions than already at hand that they do go after actual dem corruption more vigorously. Not trumped-up charges by bonafides. Dishonest fire has to be fought with as vigorous a righteous fire.
Oh I forgot - they are getting busted all the time but are getting the ear of sympathetic judges, corrupt lawyers and a total pass from the Alphabet networks, hollywood, PBS, universities etc.
Won't be long until Bush will be at war with the right over BORDER SECURITY!
Keep licking those boots bushbot. Real Conservatives have real reasons to be concerned.
Mark Levin at Bench Memos:
The president and his advisors missed a truly historic opportunity to communicate with the American people about their government, the role of all three branches of the federal system, and the proper function of the judiciary. More importantly, they have failed to help the nation return to the equipoise of our constitutional system. And the current justices whose arrogance knows no bounds will be emboldened by this selection. They will see it as affirmation of their "extra-constitutionalism." The president flinched. Some have compared have compared profligate spending to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. But no one will accuse him of FDR's boldness when it comes to the Supreme Court.
If people are disappointed, they have every reason to be.
Why do you keep repeating what I have not argued against?
I feel like you are addressing this post to the wrong person.
You are so right. We had to stay together and fight when Clinton was President. If he had proposed the billions of pork or his own under qualified attorney for the court we would be so up in arms... But no, Bush does way worse and his kool aid drinking sheep run us all right off the cliff to our doom.
did you see 108? he said that rush is trying to get bush impeached.
But you did, and on top of that, you facilitated the election of a Democrat.
Real conservative patriots are concerned because Jeffords' traitors are trying to bring down our President.
WRONG, Carter .... didn't spend as much as Bush.
By whom?
Some anonymous person posting on FR, who demands loyalty over independent and principled stance for basic honesty and good civics under our Constitution.
I told 'em that I'd call my Senators and the RNC, inform them of my position, and that I didn't need a personal reply -- I'll just watch the news.
The reason Gerald Ford lost that election was because he was Gerald Ford.
There was no way that he was going to emerge victorious over ANY Democrat that November.
He was losing by over 30 points before Ronald Reagan decided to enter the race.
The fact that Ford's loss was as narrow as it was can be attributed to precisely two people.
Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole.
I'd like to make one slight correction:
"In other words, there are two types of Republicans: conservatives andmoderateselected to office.
Law firms donate to every candidate. Where these direct donations or generated from her firm?
So true. End of story. This would not have happened if we elected a true conservative. This women must step aside. If not we may well see a 3rd party filling the vacuum. I don't think this White House understands what they have done. What a joke these hearings will be. As so many of us have said, Please Harriet, bow out now.
I went back and read lots of his posts. Seems like everyone here at FR is some type of traitor to W now. If anyone was stabbed in the back...it was us.
af_vet_1981 needs a tagline change. How about:
"If you can't lick them, lick their boots."
She was a managing partner at that firm, as the Miers acolytes never cease to point out when her meager qualifications are brought into question.
Those donations may have been made to PACs, but they still found their way into the hands of Madame Shrillary.
