Choosing Miers, the president passed over outstanding judges and proven constitutionalists like Michael Luttig of the 4th Circuit and Sam Alito of the 3rd. And if he could not take the heat from the First Lady, and had to name a woman, what was wrong with U.S. appellate court judges Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owens and Edith Jones?
Indeed...a once in a lifetime opportunity to really restore the "Constitution-in-Exile" to steal the phrase of the great Judge Douglas Ginsburg...who also would have been an excellent choice

She can be all bad if Buchannan is against her. That gives this conservative hope if a high tax, big government lib like Buchannan is so unhappy.

Who gives a rat's patootie what this old washed-up windbag thinks about anything anymore. He's yesterday's news, along with a whole host of others who keep popping up regularly on Fox and on other networks.

I don't know...
I kinda liked his SNL performances...
Austin Powers was OK, at least the first one...
And then there was Wayne's World. We ALL liked that one didn't we??
Oh.. M-I-E-R-S... that is much different.
Never mind.

Buchanan is a loser and as close to an anti-Semite as the public is willing to tolerate. In light of all the serious discussion going on here, why in the world would I give a d*** about his opinion?

Funny, but wasn't Rehnquist another SCOTUS nominee that wasn't a judge prior to nomination?

I feel better knowing Pat doesn't like her.
To: JLS
I really don't care what Buchannan thinks, IMO he has become one of the media talking heads. I never really liked him, now I just like him less.
To: Irontank
Buchanan is just not a conservative, period. However I agree with him somewhat in terms of Meiers.

We are AGAIN paying the price of continuing to let Sen. Specter thwart us at every turn. This is a deal he cooked up.

We need more citizen jurists in place of the professional kind.
I really don't care that she has never been a judge and I wouldn't care if she had never been a lawyer.
Our constitution is a document that anyone, lawyer and non-lawyer alike, can fathom. We should stop the preoccupation with thinking that only those of a particular class - lawyers and jurists - have the capability of looking at our constitution and making judgments based upon its meaning.

But seriously, I think you're correct.
To: spyone
I'm not convinced of that...listening to Specter this morning with Frist and the Judiciary Committee..he didn't seemed thrilled- which was good news to me.
