> My yes, what a patriot she now is... a few minutes ago she was a witch, a bumbling lackey, a toady.
Wow, such venom. I never said she was any of those things. I always brought evidence to bear about her conservative credentials (or lack of), and evidence that she didn't have constitutional scholarship to really perform on SCOTUS. If anything, I did volunteer that she was probably fine as a lawyer. But just being qualified to be a lawyer is not enough for SCOTUS. There is a higher bar, and she didn't meet it. She seemed a nice enough person-- but that has nothing to do with qualifications.
I'm sorry you are so emotionally invested in Ms. Miers. Take a deep breath.
For some of us, it will take a while to heal the "cleaning lady", "paper stapler" wounds. And I wasn't even a Miers supporter! Frum, Coulter, and their fans here at FR stained the entire side. And although everybody is now swearing that THEY didn't say any horrible things, there were very few who disavowed them.
I hear you VictoryGal - no I'm not really invested in her. But I'll take the same advice you gave to me as I gave to you. Now let's get out there and get the next one not only nominated but confirmed.
