Not exactly. There was wiggle room. Same with the ed bill.
No, I don;t wonder about that at all?
Why would you?
you want to lead the bar?,, you donate to both parties,, at least WAAAAAAAAY back in 1988 in democrat Texas you did
this woman may well be to the right of Roberts,, Bush knows
As a liberal, I gotta say that Bush's play to fire-breathing social conservatives has always rung kinda false. He's never really demonstrated social conservative values in his real life. He isn't serious about going to church (though he is very serious about his prayer), Laura was (or more likely is) Pro-Choice, the kids are free-thinkers, etc.
and what ever happened to the Marriage Amendment?
Miers will be like O'Connor: a quiet reasonable conservative who makes conservatives look good to the rest of the country and doesn't do anything to hurt the R's in 2006. The Dem's will be happy to give her a chance and it'll make the middle feel a lot better about the Republicans than they have lately.
I feel sorry for people who fell for the whole Scalia/Thomas line. That was a lie. But this will probably help to unify the nation for some rough patches that lie ahead.
yeah you made my point,, he nominated a person he DIDN"T know,, Bush knows this woman well,, why would he pick a person with no record who was pro abortion?
the perfect move would be pick a person who was a personal friend with no record who he knew was pro life
But, Miers wasn't donating to BOTH parties in 1988, was she? Miers was conributing only to Democrats.
It all harks back to that day, and the last-minute "compromise" that was made for the sake of good ole bipartisan harmony that has resulted in such magnificent achievements for conservatives. Somehow, I can't remember what those achievements are...
maybe she used to be a democrat like Zell Miller,, ole Zell voted for Clinton/Gore and he is as pro life as they come
She donated money to BILL CLINTON.
the perfect stealth candidate
The Democrats aren't stupid enough to vote against a potential liberal on the Court like Myers. They probably still can't believe the President was stupid enough to nominate her.
Assuming she knows nothing about constitutional law, the hearings could be an embarrassment, and she might be Caswelled.
Carswelled.
If open borders was not enough . . .
if ignoring the loss of our national sovereignty was not enough . . .
if spending more on social welfare than FDR and LBJ was not enough . . .
if being more liberal fiscally than Bill Clinton was not enough . . .
is this SCOTUS pick enough?
Are you Bush loyalists and party loyalists ready to finally start fighting for the nation's future instead of playing excuse maker for nonconservative Bush and the liberal Republican Party?
Not only that, but it has established a bad presidence for this country. The head counsel for the ACLU can get confirmed by the Senate without a challenge, but it's unacceptable for someone with a conservative background to get nominated.

huh?
No, check his campaign pledge.
I am very ticked off at this nomination. I have always felt that Bush does what he says he will do, but not anymore. If I could go have my spine removed, I would send it to him because he surely needs it.
everyone that knows her is saying she is a strict constituionalist
if so she's got my vote
