Frankly, I didn't know which way to go with this nominee.
On the one hand, I heard she lacked credentials and all we had was "Trust me on this." so that had me leery.
On the other hand, Rush brought up how we've got those squishy, linguini-spined moderate RINO's in the Senate who probably wouldn't have the intestinal fortitude to support a strict constitutionalist so this pick may have been a good thing.
I don't know but now, all I'm hearing is the disappointment from the rabid Left (not here but on Rush's show in soundbites) about how "the far-right wing" of the Republican party destroyed this nominee and when they get upset, that makes me go "Hmm. Now if she was such a strong conservative as the President claimed, why are these guys so upset?" I have to say that I'm pleased to hear that she did withdraw. And this nominee had the approval of "The 14"? Ugh. No thanks.
Haven't we been burned already by a "stealth" justice in the form of David Souter? Not much was known about him either and look what we got. Ick! Not sure I want to take that chance again.
I fear though that a strict constitutionalist won't get through the Senate, not with those yellow-bellied, "lips-planted-firmly-to-the-Democrat's-butt", spineless jellyfish RINO's. But I'm of the opinion that it's way past time to take it to the Left. For all their caterwauling about putting a "right-wing extremist", these same hypocrites have no problem placing a left-wing extremist on the bench. Ruth Bader Ginsburg ring any bells!
No, it's time to fight! We worked hard to get the President elected so he would nominate someone on the bench who won't legislate from it. It's time to hold him to his promise!
When the alleged far right attacks weeks before any evidence can possibly be presented, using exactly the same tactics as the left....the left claiming the "far right" destroyed this candidate is simple misdirection.
