Harriet Miers
What did he say? Bottom line is Bush folded.
Not quite.
A. "Someone" named Harriet Miers contributed to Algore 17 years ago. So far it hasn't been proved it was this HM.
B. At the time Algore was pro life.
Don't use God's name in vain in your rant.
"Her undergraduate degree was in mathematics... math folks can be painstakingly strict in their construction of things."
--->
This is just about the only thing I can glean from her background, either positive or negative. I consider this to be a very good thing, personally.
It is too bad, to me, that the President didn't nominate someone like Brown - my heart-throb choice... but if Miers IS a strict Constructionist/ Constitutionalist, and tends to be a logician and mathematical in her approach to cases, conservatives are going to be very happy.
Perhaps people like me are pissed BECAUSE there's barely a fact. Why leave so many great nominees on the vine and pick a lotto commissioner Mystery Date?
As far as I'm concerned, this is the BOHICA nominee.
Your not going to vote? You must not trust President Bush.
I think this is a great choice.
Watch www.notdeadyet.org to see what their response is to the Miers' selection. NDY represents 30 disability advocacy groups.
The hubris of this administration is unbearable. I think the best think that can happen is that the Republican party take it squarely on the chin in '06 and '08 to remind them that their base matters and fulfilling promises mattter.
I thought this was interesting by the way:

EXACTLY my thoughts. All ther DUmmies will vote for her, but Bush knows how she REALLY thinks!
you call yourself a conservative or just a republican party booster?? ?
I call myself a conservative because I AM a conservative.......and have been for a whole lot of years.
And I call you a newbie, who could just might be a DU troll....
Well put, ignore the questions on policy supported by
BUSH and attack me as a troll..please just respond to the questions on policy and we will find out how conservative you are? immigration, gov spending, gov socialism (drug program), what do you say on these??
I think I'll wait for the hearings to make my decision about her.
Agree. Miers just doesn't sound like the most qualified nominee regardless of political leanings. This cronyism ala Michael Brown doesn't reflect well on the process. I guess Laura must have had her way--a woman from SMU.
If only that were true.... I'd email my senator (Coburn) and ask him to be the one.
How about posting some FACTS to prove that assertion.
We can all wait.
Yep, same Sarah Hughes
Lol... yeah right.
The Supreme Court is revisiting Assisted Suicide in Oregon TODAY. I wonder if Harriet Miers is for assisted suicide. I think she'll go along with Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg, Souter and the rest.
She a mystery date to YOU, not to Bush. Give him a little credit for HAVING KNOWN HER FOR YEARS.
DU hates her. Perfect!
