Spoken like a true elitist.

Can't have them unwashed soiling the great halls of justice.

Hmmmmm....I think I hear a few Demoncrat politicians yelling: "Shut up and pay yer taxes!"

Can't have Miers in there, ohhhhh, noooooooooo.....why, you'd think those average Joes and Janes might think they have a say in how they're governed!

Perish the thought!

Man, listening to Laura Ingharam on the radio--which I rarely get the opportunity to do--made me even more convinced that my gut reaction has been correct. I'm waiting for the hearings, and hoping one way or another we learn more about her. But I am really hoping that judicial conservatives will stand up.

Everyone complains about the gang of 14, who actually asserted their will completely within the rules. Instead of whining about it, tip your hat to their political skill, and do something to counteract it.

The GOP Senate won't do it, and I'm sorry, but it sure looks like the president won't either. And all of a sudden, here comes this unified, loud voice of the judicial conservatives asserting themselves, and possibly even applying as much pressure from OUR side as the gang of 14 did from theirs. In short, the people, the ones who care, are actually rising up, being heard, and potentially deflecting a bad nominee.

At which point I guess you'll say she's not a bad nominee, or we should wait and see. OK, fine, we should wait and see. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of the hearings being held with not ONLY the gang of 14 applying pressure from the mushy moderate side, but the right, represented by the people themselves (can I get a huzzah??), applying pressure on the GOP from the RIGHT. It's a beautiful thing.

I was pessimistic when I thought that this nominee going down would result in a worse nominee. It doesn't have to be that way. But the more I learn, the more I think this one has got to go. Sorry. I'll watch the hearings, and I truly would love, if she does get confirmed, to have egg all over my face come next July when opinions start to roll out. I hope I have a Western Omellette with cheese on my face if that day comes. No lie.

My new mission is to try to respect and promote respect among my judicially conservative brethren. We may disagree, but we want the same thing. My other mission is to post something in 100 words or less.
