Everyone who heard of Condi before Bush tapped her, raise your hand!
I think many are dims. Ann Coulter is a turncoat, angry person
You can identify the anointed ones by their conservative speech and socialist actions.
excellent point... I am voting for condi in 2008! :)
Anybody who recognizes the difference between the Executive branch and the Judicial branch please raise your hands!
Signed it already. Thanks for posting though.
This is a battle that has been brewing for a long. It needs to happen.
According to the Constitution, you are also qualified to be on the Supreme Court. As a matter of fact, so am I.
Just when I thought I've seen it all on FR.
"Nobody seems to want to wait for the hearings, which kind of makes me question why we even have them."
Having watched the last several, I have the same question.
i can't stop laughing.....
This Frum guy, though, is a real sicko.
The hearings will be a sham and you know it. The GOP senators are too lame to confirm a proven conservative, they're too lame to toss Harriet. Now is the time.
Ummm - a few weeks ago -weren't we conservatives arguing that the pick is the President's and that the Senate et al should butt out?
My thoughts exactly. If you believe in a principal, there's no time like the present to fight for it.
On another note, I am so sick of the term 'elitism' being dropped every time someone says they are against the Miers nomination. That is a cop-out, very similar to the way Democrats try to shut down their opponents on debate shows. I am not an intellectual elitist, but I'm disappointed in her nomination. From what I've seen, heard, and read, she just doesn't cut it for me.
"This is where too much compromise leads. If you make power trump principle, pretty soon you have a crisis like this one."
Bingo. This is a clash of the pragmatics and the conservatives for the soul of the republican party
Conservatives have compromised on big government, and spending, ceding power to the Pragmatics.
The Pragmatics won on this nomination, despite GWB's assertion that he would nominate conservative justices - principles were compromised in favor of a perceived "confirmability factor".
This clash between two wings of the Republican party was inevitable. If conservatives lose, there is no end to compromising on principle - which is to say, there are no principles.
Conservatives had to draw the line. This is it.
that deserved a barf alert
You too.
After all, this is a republic. They are accountable to the people.
This is a joke. I can not believe those in my own party are doing this type of nutty behavior
