just breaking!!!!!!!!
Yep. Specter said nobody who has been filibustered will be supported.
It'll be Edith Clement or that Williams chick from SC. It will be a woman, for sure.
I've taken a lot of heat for supporting W through this whole thing, even though I'm a JRB fan.
This may be a time for all the BushBashers to put their money where there fingers are. If W nominates a real conservative, we'd better pull together.
It could be an opportunity for the "base" to rally.
I do get it, though.
announce it on Monday and take the focus away from the Plame soap opera
No, you are wrong...from what I read "MOST" who opposed Miers opposed her because she was unqualified and a poor choice. I fully support the president and many things he does, and I did not "hate" Miers. I'm glad she did the right thing.
So stop banging your little spoon on your highchair and lets see if the president will nominate a qualified conservative for this extremely important position.
You mean people like me, who weren't thrilled with Bush's spending, but organized all campaign events for him on my campus last fall because I knew he had said he would nominate judges like Scalia and Thomas? I wasn't excited about Roberts (face it, he's pretty dull), but I happily supported him because he appears reasonably conservative and is so well qualified. And I'll happily support any strict constructionist Bush nominates, since that is the reason I supported him in the first place.
You aren't a conservative, so don't try tell those of us who are how to accomplish our goals.
Somehow the "pundits" seem to have taken over the running of the GOP. Pundits who have never been elected to anything, get paid primarily for attracting attention through loose and unsupported commentary, and have never even been on the town council, let alone run a country.
Or Brown!!! That would shut up all the elitist and sexist talk.
PING PING PING
Bush needs to turn things around and if he can force the Dems back into the filibuster corner it'll be great. Of course then it'll be up to those "moderate" GOP senators.
Fat chance on Luttig. Get ready for Alberto Gonzales.
Nope, she'll make a nice Borked martyr.
Whether or not she was qualified is irrelevant to me at this time. I do not know if she was qualified.
My side of the aisle did not give follow their own guidelines. An up or down vote. If she was as incomptetent as has been portrayed, it would have been obvious during the hearings. On the flip side, maybe we would have found out she was comptent. I do not know. I only know what others think they know.
Hell, the venom began as soon as her last name was out of the President's mouth. The GOP has it's fair share of hypocrites. Imagine what would be happening if they took such a hard line against the lies Joe Wilson has been peddling as fact or against the tactics of the dems.
Do they really think that the Dems are going to let a true conservative judge go thru? If they are giving Miers a hard time what will they do to any of the real conservative judges? They will slam them left and right. We won't get anyone thru that way. In a way, the Dems have won.
Call back when you get a reliable source!
/LOL
Yes, this has got to be incredibly embarassing to all involved. I feel sorry for her.
Hopefully.
I've got your back! ;)
And if the President nominates say, Justice Brown and she does get shot down, it will still set a precident.
There will never again be a Ginsberg, either.
