I agree that lack of an Ivy League education etc. is a criticism that is not worthy of respect. However, should not reasonable criticism of Miers be allowed? Just as there are reasonable defenses of her?

I'm becomming more and more convinced that some FReepers are narrow minded, and suffer from tunnel vision. They'd also turn against their own Mothers in a New York minuteYou should have been here the day Bush picked Cheney for his VP; you think this was bad? Huh, it's nothing compared to THAT day.

Wouldn't the Second Ammendment offer protection to a citizen of a states whose representatives wanted to take guns out of citizens hands?

I do like the fact that she wrote that as part of an article on the Texas Bell Tower massacre. That would have been a time when it would have been easy to be swayed by emotion. It sounds like she was not swayed.
She would not have been my first pick but she might turn out to be a good one.
The more I learn about her the better she does sound.

Good find. I am liking Harriet Miers better the more I learn about her. President Bush has made a good choice for the Supreme Court.

Wow! Good find. Thank you for posting it.

Someone else finally noticed that Bork is very weak on the 2nd Amendment, and also discovered that Miers apparently isn't.The lady is from Texas after all. ;)
To: Double Tap
Man, I feel better about this every hour. Thanks for the link to Kopel's articleI feel the same. Quite discouraged yesterday and early this morning, but not anymore.
Can't wait for the confirmation hearings.

Wouldn't the Second Ammendment offer protection to a citizen of a states whose representatives wanted to take guns out of citizens hands? Now that we have the 14th Amendment, if you believe in the full incorporation of the Second Amendment, then the Federal government has the power to over-ride ANY State law to enforce the Bill of Rights and the answer would be yes.
If you don't belive that the 14th gives the Feds powers to enforce the BOR against the States, the answer would be no.
That's the problem with the 14th. If you want Federal protection, you have to accept the perils including the way they have enforced the establishment clause against the States.

Thomas is the gold standard. Yes, he is, and as someone else reminded me, he, too was criticized as being "unqualified."
To: Richard Poe
Miers will fool 'em all. YES...She'll be another souter except, she'll be a HARD RIGHT version...we'll have a justice, we've all dreamed and hoped for...LOL
Brit Hume had an old colleague of hers on; she was 25yrs old when he knew her...she was a REPUBLICAN and extremely CONSERVATIVE...from the mouth of Martin Frost, an X Congressman from Texas and a dembo. He said she's soft spoken but the senators should never think they can roll over her...she'll eat 'em up if they try.

Thank you for posting this. This sort of writing on her part affords a much better view of her views than any of the media frenzy.

Self esteem causes crime? Hope? Lack of health care?
She's nominated to be an Associate Justice, not a Senator or Representative.

When she starts getting hammered by the MSM and the lefty pressure groups and then the lefty senators we will find out what she is really like .

You took the words out of their context. She was talking about individuals in society needing to help others who have problems, troubles and cannot seem to function normally. SHE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT JUDGES, COURTS, POLICE, THE LAWS ETC.

I've recently noticed a lot of Freepers being critical, if not intolerant, of fellow Freepers who criticize or dissent from President Bush. Do you guys want to squash:
a. all of those criticisms
b. the ones you don't agree with
c. the ones that aren't based on valid arguments

Good for you, Mr. Poe. I have read "Slouching Towards Gomorrah", and that particular remark about the Second Amendment that he made rubbed me the wrong way, too. Bork is not perfect. He was right about many things, but the right to keep and bear arms is not his strong suit.
At this point, I have no problem with Bush's pick. There are other things that the president could be doing better with, but this is not one of them. If anything, the administration waited far too long before trying to clear things up.

Harriet Miers was an even MORE brilliant choice than John Roberts. Too bad some FReepers are too stupid to notice!!
Brilliant? It is not brilliant to get your side more upset with you than the other side - unless you are dim-witted.
