just breaking!!!!!!!!
OK is Okay with me!
Oh well, if Trent Lott doesn't want "very conservative" nominees, then let's just send up Hillary and go home. God knows we can't get anywhere without Trent Lott on our side.
If he nominates Judge Brown, he can also tie it into honoring the memory of another blackk woman who died this week, Rosa Parks...would make it difficult for libs to argue that!
There will be more donations from me based on those ads. Free speech is alive and well.
The man that knew people, and not parties, was Ronald Reagan. He attracted an idealogical base of conservative people from both parties. The anti-Ross Perot if you will.
1) O'Conner will now hear and decide on the Church&State and Parental Notification cases. I doubt this forum will reach consensus on who might be responsible for whatever results come from that. Great opportunities for SDO'C to write swan-song majority opinions.
Time for Roberts to do some jiggering of the court docket :-) For what it's worth, Miers would have likely ruled the same way on the Church&State cases as O'Connor, and possibly the same on the Parental Notification ones.
2) I do hope this forum combines with the pundits and the next nominee to apply pressure where it belongs, with all the vehemence we have seen for the last few weeks: the Senate. There lies the source of weakness that the President took into account with the Mier's nomination. Already Trent Lott was on screen signalling that 'very conservative' nominees (by name, Owens or Brown) might not be the 'wisest' choices, implying that the constitutional option is not a done deal at all.
Why am I not surprised that Cave-A-Lott is caving?
Santorum would be a good way for Bush to thumb his nose at and satisfy his base at the same time, but it would also result in PA's scumball Rat Gov Rendell appointing a new Senator. Bush wouldn't do that, I don't think.
You sound like a Sore Loserman.
Remember the deliriously happy, and justified, refrain at the beginning of the Bush Administration that the 'adults were finally back in charge'?
The aftermath of this disastrous nomination is certainly going to put that thesis to the test...
I've seen some good looking gay men and my first thought is always...what a waste. :-)
^___^
Kristol has a right to smirk: He won!
"Ate one of our own again?"
Not really. I was in favor of her because I believed what Bush was saying about her.
But, as I heard her positions and read her writings, I had to say to myself that she didn't seem to be the brightest bulb on the string. Beliefs aside, she didn't appear to be a thinker or if she was, she couldn't express herself well.
Further, if you want to know the truth, the previous two women on the court have not struck me as mental giants either. Ginsberg is a near commie and SDO is a scattergun.
Flame on, Gridley!
I was one of those. And I agree, she did the right thing by pulling out. I do dismay that O'Conner will still be sitting on the court. And if Bush nominates someone like JRB, the fight will go on forever.
Boxer and Fineswine are already out there warning Bush not to go there. Do we have enough senators with a spine that will fight the dims?
That is not true....she did not select them. There is a volume on this here.
True.
President Bush could have sent a qualified nominee.
Right. Like your bike.
You think you are the big winners. Congratulations. When you can explain to me how you are going to get one of your preferred choices through the weak Senate, we will talk.
Until then, go pound sand. Your big victory was getting a woman to withdraw in order to save the Party. It seems to me that Harriet Miers is more admirable than you folks. She at least has a sense of decency.
Enjoy your victory.
Allen on Laura's show firmly advocating a quick process leading to a Judicial conservative. Thanking Miers for doing this.
