The Litmus Testers are waiting to meet with her but a question for the TERBsters, will she be confirmed for Sandra Day O’Connor’s seat?

Will Harriet Miers be confirmed?
- Thread starter onthebottom
- Start date
If she is just HALF as smart as Roberts, she will again expose the old and tired "leftwing one issue" trinity of Kennedy/Boxer/Schumer.
It was amusing to watch how Roberts gave them a demo on , what real brains look like.
My guess is, that Miers will build on that. Let's give the ol drunkard Kennedy a taste of his own medicine. Let's watch an old angry white men tear apart a female minority.
Of course in this case that analogy won't be made.

Her confirmation hearing will be quite interesting as she gets the Shrub's cock out of her mouth long enough to maybe give us an opinion on the role of the Court in society. IN the meantime, there so much good to say about her.
Let's see:
"A Legal Times profile of Harriet Miers upon her promotion from deputy chief of staff under Andy Card to White House counsel includes information not likely to show up on an official bio, among them:
• She is immensely, perhaps irrationally, into birthdays: "She always remembers everybody's birthday, and has a present for them. She'll be finding a present for somebody in the middle of the night.... 'Can't it wait until next week?' 'No,' she'd say, 'It has to be done now.'"
• She has dated Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht "over the years." [NOTE: Absolutely no other article online mentions this fascinating fact.]
• She's nit-picky micromanager who failed upwards at the White House: "She failed in Card's office for two reasons," the [former White House] official says. "First, because she can't make a decision, and second, because she can't delegate, she can't let anything go. And having failed for those two reasons, they move her to be the counsel for the president, which requires exactly those two talents."
• Not even the president can think of much interesting to say about her: In 1996, at an Anti-Defamation League Jurisprudence Award ceremony, Bush introduced Miers as a "pit bull in Size 6 shoes," a tag line that has persisted through the years, in part because colorful anecdotes or descriptions about Miers are notoriously difficult to find."
David Frum says:
"In the White House that hero worshipped the president, Miers was distinguished by the intensity of her zeal: She once told me that the President was the most brilliant man she had ever met."
Yup. Now THAT's the kind of background we need on the Supreme Court. Sheesh.

Are you now officially joining the "Trinity of the disillusioned" ?TOVisitor said:
Your comments make you look stupid..BUT hey wait a minute you just cut and paste from your favorite blog. in that case when she will be confirmed you are not responsible...nice going there...just like your hero Clinton..
Well i am not so sure about that. Judging by a lot of the initial reactions, she might face more oppositon from the right than from the left.The Mugger said:
BUT this could be all just a ploy from the right..kinda like gotcha..gotcha..
Another smart move by Bush
By choosing a dark-horse nominee with no background and who nobody seems to know anything about, the President has neatly side-stepped the character assassins, who simply don't have anything they can hysterically blow out of proportion, distort, or quote out of context. Accordingly, the Left is pitting its resources into demanding that she be brought before the Inquisition, strapped to the rack, and forced to prove that she harbours no hidden heresies. If all goes well, the Inquisition will take things way too far, creating public sympathy for Myers and even more antipathy towards the Left than exists already

I don't know which I like more, the quality of W's choices or how stupid the Ds look opposing them. There are long memories in the Senate if the Ds can ever field a decent canidate she'll have hell to pay getting anything through a Red Senate.

And the left is going crazy over W's nominee? Bwahahahaha.

Now that all your sites told you what to think, does that mean you approve of her? Don't you feel a bit stupid having the only no vote?

Translation of today's NY Times article:
Bush is a pussy who is willing to sell out his friends to save his own ass.

She will win the nomination and have a much easier time then Roberts did. Although with Robert it was just a bump in the road.

Yup, goes to show that some conservatives can be just as asinine in their thinking as their opponents when they really feel like it- Cindy Sheehan herself would be hard-pressed to come up with anything that floridly illogical. Do these people really believe that somebody like Bush would nominate a closet Leftist for the position, or what ?
David Frum:
"Nor is it safe for the president's conservative supporters to defer to the president's judgment and say, "Well, he must know best." The record shows I fear that the president's judgment has always been at its worst on personnel matters."
William Kristol:
""It is very hard to avoid the conclusion that President Bush flinched from a fight on constitutional philosophy. Miers is undoubtedly a decent and competent person. But her selection will unavoidably be judged as reflecting a combination of cronyism and capitulation on the part of the president," said William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard magazine."
Bwahahahahaha.

Go ahead. Gloat at some piddling internal disunity, gloat while you still can and over what little you can- because when the new Bench gets around to restoring the original Constitution and the laws, you won't be gloating anymore, and your smirking "bwahahahaha" will become a wailing "waahboohoohoo"...TOVisitor said:
