Stu Ghatze said:Amazing that when liberals were in power for so long in the past,.. courtesy of a monopolized media, ..they never gave a rats as.s about "placating" the senate republicans when republicans USED to be in the minority!
Actually....a good old senate fight would most probably be the last nail in the coffin for liberalism, ...something that the Nancy Pelosi's, The Barbara Boxer's, The Chuckie Schumer's, & Ted Kennedy's had better understand DOES represent the views of the mainstream american voters. :smile:
galenrox said:Here's the extraordinary circumstance, she's just a croney. I was never opposed to Roberts, but she's not qualified, and she only got the nod because she'll rule exactly the way Bush wants her to with complete indifference to the actual constitution.
Bush is trying to pull an FDR here.

aps said:If Reid likes her, that's a good sign. Maybe there is hope for this nomination. I forget--did he vote for or against Roberts?
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid voted against him, saying he had "too many unanswered questions" to give the nominee a lifetime job.Pacridge said:Last I heard he said he was going to vote nay, but I don't know how he actually voted.

Avowed christian and not "just a christian". Hehe. Here's more of the info about contributions:Navy Pride said:I have some concern about this nominee.........I will reserve my judgment on her until the hearings......I heard that in 1988 she contributed to the Gore campaign when he ran for the senate...I heard this morning also that she is and avowed christian so that is good........
Since the mid-1990s, Miers has contributed to the campaigns of various Republicans, including Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Phil Gramm, and Pete Sessions, with recorded contributions to Republican candidates and causes totaling nearly $12,000. Her earlier political history shows support for the Democratic Party during the 1980s, with recorded contributions to Democratic candidates and causes, including the Democratic National Committee, the Senate campaign of Lloyd Bentsen and the 1988 Presidential campaign of Al Gore, totaling $3,000. Her last recorded contribution to a Democratic cause or campaign was in 1988.
Clinton did things much differently than Bush is doing them. Clinton worked behind the scenes to get a consensus with the senate first before attempting to push a candidate through which gave people time to find out more info about them. Bush is just pushing a candidate through. Different politician, different tactics. So far, with Roberts, it's worked for Bush.NavyPride said:Is it not odd that Reid had no problem with Ginsberg not answered question during her hearings but he has a problem when it is a Bush nominee doing the same thing?
And Bush chose not to take the advice of first lady Laura Bush, who publicly suggested that O'Connor, the nation's first female justice, be succeeded by another woman.
Pacridge said:You find it odd that a Senator would have little or no questions for a nominee nominated by a President from his own party, but did have questions for a nominee from a President from the opposing party? I would find it odd if he didn't.

It does look like first lady Laura got her wish of having a female jurist though.

She can stick an evergreen up her butt and call it Christmas for all I care. As long as she knows that when she puts on her robes, she leaves whatever prejudices (positive or negative) at the door and follow the law.Navy Pride said:Liberals are not going to like this.........I was just listening to the Michael Medved radio talk show and a lady called in and said she as a member of the same church that Ms. Meirs attends...........She said this woman is very religeous and a fundamentalist christian and that she even taught sunday school...............
This is really great news if you are a conservative..........As I have said before when it comes to this nominee and the dems, Stand by for heavy rolls to port........

You crafty bastard. Good call.cnredd said:Shuey!...Please go back and read my article before you claim that he's just "pushing" a candidate through...
Reid had personally recommended that Bush consider Miers for nomination, according to several sources familiar with the president's consultations with individual senators. Of equal importance as the White House maps its confirmation campaign is that the Nevada Democrat had warned Bush that the selection of any of several other contenders could trigger a bruising partisan struggle...
