just breaking!!!!!!!!
That's not what it sounded like around here the day Kerry conceded. We were all conservatives, if I recall correctly.
Bush gave them the ammo when he nominated her. They were already charging cronyism minutes after the announcement. The Senate would have exposed her total lack of constitutional and judicial knowledge during the hearings and then that would have been more damaging.
Bush could have avoided this by pulling the nomination immediately. In fact, he could have avoided the whole situation by properly vetting her and then properly floating her and then actually pay attention to the reaction to the float.
His stubbornness caused this.
You're, of course, right to question the honesty of my statement. Reviewing my recent posts, I have apparently vacillated between a 70% and an 80% "correct" vote requirement for my ideal Republican-nominated justice.
How would you know? You're obviously not part of it. Why are you even here if you are so opposed to conservative, constitutionalist goals?
Conservatives aren't monolithic but on certain core issues we are united, and court correction is the #1 of all those issues.
That was kind of a Russerty thing to do....pulling up an old post to slam someone...
I know, you win...you win...but, if you want us all to get along, pulling up old posts to critisize someone with is not going to be helpful..
And, you know how much I care about YOU.
You can stop spinning now. She's gone and she ain't coming back.
You don't get it ... the Left will label us that because of what happen
' THEY have the MSM Stage to say whatever they want
dont bother with that person.

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler May 1, 1927

now, who does that sound like to you? "ultra right" or ultra left?
Oregon, why for?
No one said we wanted an "evangelical seat" - but how do you KNOW that Miers was not going to be a "good conservative justice . . . provid[ing] a strong criticism of judicial activism to the country and to her fellow justices"?
What were the attacks on her character?
To say she isn't qualified isn't an attack on her character.
Those who engaged in character attacks were the WH and Laura Bush, by calling those who were opposed to her *nomination* as sexist and elitist.
Good luck in THAT rabbit hole.
2 Little girls. Watch out!
Hitler supporters or little kids trying to "shock" the old fogies?
From what I understand,...the qualificaions for SCOTUS justice don't even require American citizenship...am I wrong?
If now....just think of the possiblities from out of our country...LOL
It cuts both ways, Jeff.
He thought she was the right person to move the court to the right, and he wasn't going to abandon her.
I'd call that a good quality.
Sorry, but there is a direct line between the Pat Buchanans, Alan Keyes, and that style of "conservative," and the 1930's reactionary Right. The words used to argue about issues these days may be different, but the underlying meaning is the same.
you: Which a stealth candidate would do anyway. Better the devil you know when dealing with such an important position and especially when a LIFETIME tenure is involved.
To me, it is a Spiritual issue. Many of us have been praying for a very long time for God to heal the Court because we see it as the cause of this country turning away from Him - building a wall between the inalienable rights of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, interpreting the Freedom of Religion as the Freedom "from" Religion and so on.
Just curious. I like the name, Doratheexplorer. We've made her creators rich. :-)
