This can't be good. We all that Bush's lawyer is a closet feminist, Marxist, and liberal.

Well, well......the HERO to all of us conservatives DOES NOT think Meirs to be a catostrophic nomination!!!
I guess everyone here who has given up on BUSH will just have to give up on Scalia.
After all he is NOT really a conservative in the mold of Thomas, now is he?

Confusing story.
For example....
"Without mentioning the Bush nominee by name, the conservative legal icon (Scalia) said that the High Court needed someone who had never served as a judge to take the place of the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist."
Scalia is therefore talking about John Roberts and defending his position as CJ on the SC -- not Harriet Miers. This appears to be a take on Roberts, not Miers.

There is no way this woman is not qualified. What they teach you in law school, essentially, is what an appellate judge does. You read hundreds of cases, and discuss what they mean and the logic behind them.
So every graduate of law school really has the training to be an appellate judge, although possibly not the temperament. And it's really not something that you get better at with experience. In fact, if anything it's the opposite. The longer you sit on the bench, the more you come to think that it's your opinion that's important, and not the legislature's.

Although Scalia didn't comment on HM's specific abilities, either way, for him to comment at all, even in a general way is a lion's roar.

Yes, leave it to Newsmax to screw up something like this, perhaps on purpose.

BUMP to watch the meltdown if the screamers are up this morning... God, I hope they've all got laryngitis by now. I'm sick of them and their negative drumbeats.

It looks like all the grumblers over Miers will have a new voice to contend with, a voice that's the icon of conservatism. What will Ann Coulter do now? Yikes!
To: jdm
Sorry but Roberts was a judge.

Scalia must know something good for him to have said these positive comments.
Excellent

I see zero comment from Scalia on Miers, in this article. He's talking about John Roberts; not Miers. He's referring to the person replacing Rehnquist. Miers isn't replacing Rehnquist; she's replacing O'Connor.

Isnt this hilarious? The same people that want to discount EVERYONE else (ie the pundits like Limbaugh, Levin, etc) --because "BUSH KNOWS HER", are the same people who run right over here and cheer on Scalia, who DOESNT. So which is it?
LOL!!
