Bush did betray us, because because this nominee is TOTAL STEALTH. No on knows. If we have another Souter incident, our party will implode. Many of us our determined to NEVER allow this to happen again.
The President, asking us to support her based on his word alone, is NOT enough. In this area, IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH. That's why it must be a Luttig or someone, we, the people who got him elected can believe will be a conservative. We must have something other than "trust me" to operate on.
With regard to the RINOs. Fight the fight and fight it now. They blinked on Roberts, they'll blink on Luttig.
Can we both agree that when Miers stongest supporter in the Senate is Harry "screw America" Reid, the nominee has serious issues?
She AND Bush knew - that was the big difference between her nomination and Souter, Kennedy, O'Connor. I can just see you people fighting for Sparta during the Trojan war: "People of Troy, don't be fooled - the horse is hollow!!!"
