I too listen to what Ann has to say and she does make some strong points. Justice Brown would have been a great pick for SCJ. How on earth could the democrats go against a story as hers. Especially after President Bush said he wish he could have received more of a larger black vote. More important we need a vote of confidance in the conservative movement and picking someone like Judge Brown could have gave consevatives a boost. If it means a fight then so be it we have to see who is really for us or not. This is the time to strike when we have the President and the senate majority. When would it be a better time to have such a show down. Not only that it would be such a great role model for young american blacks looking for a way to go in their lives. As you can see from all the threads just what President Bush has done is caused a great divide. It is so sad we have waited so long. And then when I think who could run against Hillery I get very scared and I also believe it should be a conservtive who can be the opposite of Hillery. Maybe this Harriet Miers will be a good SCJ but so much more could have been accomplished with Judge Brown.
Yes, it should have been Janice Rogers Brown. I knew she had no chance, even before the President made such a show of consulting Democrats. Brown would have been worth fighting for. Miers is likely to be eaten alive in the hearings, especially if the Dems believe she's pro-life. Then we'd have a defeat for the President as well as a surrender, and to many of us the choice of a cipher is already a surrender.
And don't bother calling me disloyal unless you can explain how a conservative could sign McCain-Feingold.
