For those of you promoting the agenda of NOT supporting Harriet Miers, take a look at where you are siding.

Not in Our Name project.
They are SDS/Weatherman.
From FBI Files:
Weatherman or Weather Underground Organization, is a "revolutionary organization of communist men and women" formed by members of the Students for a Democratic Society or SDS. They were originally called the Revolutionary Youth Movement. They advocated the overthrow of our government and capitalism. They carried out a campaign of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots in 1969-1976.
The group derived their name from Bob Dylan's song lyrics from "Subterranean Homesick Blues", which were, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", I use to see that quote at the bottom of their periodical, New Left Notes, when I use to work at a periodical distribution company.
Their first event, in 1969, was the "Days of Rage" in Chicago. They blew up a statue dedicated to police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot. They announced at a convention that they supported Charles Manson. The rally failed to draw as many participants (300) as they had hoped. They did lead a riot through Chicago's business district, smashing windows and cars. 6 were shot and 70 arrested. The conflict went on for a few days.
1970, after the shooting by police of Black Panther Fred Hampton, the group issued a Declaration of War against the United States government, changing its name to the "weather underground organization", adopting fake IDs, and pursuing covert activities only. These initially included plans for a bombing of a US military noncommissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix. But when three Underground members died in an accidental explosion while preparing the bomb in a Greenwich Village, New York City safe house, other cells re-evaluated their plans and decided to pursue only non-lethal projects.
This group released a number of manifestos and declarations, while conducting a series of bombings. These attacked the U.S. Capitol, The Pentagon, police and prison buildings, and the rebuilt Haymarket statue again, among other targets. The group took measures to avoid any loss of life as a result of these bombings, issuing warnings to evacuate the building ahead of time via phone. They also took a $25,000 payment from a drugs group called The Brotherhood of Eternal Love to break LSD advocate Timothy Leary out of prison, transporting him to Algeria. They remained largely successful at avoiding the police and the FBI.
In the mid-to-late 1970s, the group began dissolving, as many members turned themselves in to the police, and others moved onto other armed revolutionary groups. Very few served prison sentences, since the evidence gathered against them, by the FBI's COINTELPRO program, was inadmissable in court, due to the illegal methods used to obtain it.
Famous members of the Weather Underground include Kathy Boudin, Mark Rudd, Terry Robbins, David Gilbert, and the still-married couple Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers.
Many former Weathermen have re-integrated into society, without necessarily repudiating their original intent. Bill Ayers, now a Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said in a September 11, 2001 New York Times profile "I don't regret setting bombs. I believe we didn't do enough."

If you aren't supporting Harriet Miers, take some time to do a search of BUSHCOMMISSION.ORG. Not a site search. A search to see where info is pulled from:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22bushcommission.org%22&hl=en&lr=&filter=0
Make sure if you are not on the side of supporting Miers, it isn't information that came from SDS, Not In Our Name, MoveOn.org, of the NLG.
To little too late for me.
Well said Nic!
And let add something else here. I DO HOPE that something stops her nomination... I pray she withdraws!... but if she doesn't, W should get the message loud and clear! that we were NOT please with his pick. He must have us in mind the next time around, because I have the feeling there will be another vacancy during his presidency. 3 years is a LONG TIME...And would not that be FANTASTIC? Yes, it would, but only if he were to choose the right person this time?... and he better understand this now.
I am really fearful this woman is a "try to get along" type... and that is definitely NOT what we need in the SC. We need someone very clear on his philosophy (conservative hopefully) and be ready to battle for those ideas.
No. My original post is to show who launched the campaign against Miers.
My post is for research to see if the talking points in making a decision is from own beliefs or from spoon feed nonesense launched by Not In Our Name.
And for the record, FairOpinion is the ONLY one I've seen make a logical statement to NOT support Miers. And F.O.'s words have not come from any left material I've read.
I am not supporting her because of any information, there is none. Bush nominated as blank page as any 60 year old could be. I do not support her because of my intuition and life experience. I think she is in way over her head, but I could be wrong, she will have a chance prove herself in the hearings. And if she fails, it will not be because of her positions, but because she unable to convince people that she was up to the job. Or to paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen. She is no John Roberts, she is no Clarence Thomas, she is no Sandra Day O'Connor, she is not even a conservative version of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"You mean to tell me that hiring to fill a quota would best serve the company's needs when what that company needs is a human being who's savvy with computers and accounting practices?"
First of all, my father's advance in management at a very large company was stopped because even though he had the very highest ratings he was told there would be no open slots for white men for 10 years unless they were selected for the very highest levels of management so I am personally as well as theoretically opposed to quotas.
But I am not ready to condemn Miers for suggesting as a private citizen that law firms try to diversify ad to set measurable targets.
And from what do we know in what way Miers supports the interpretation of the constitution? Conservatives are concerned about her interpretation and for those case laws upon which she will become a part become law of the land.
Agreed. Bush could've nominated a half dozen better qualified individuals, period. I'm not going to be in locked step with George when he's wrong; he's wrong on this matter and he's wrong on out of control government spending. He's insulting any and all conservatives who've supported him in the past. George, get back on track while there's still time, please.
Really? Where did you get that?
The left and the right oppose this nomination mostly for entirely different reasons. Therefore, the fact both sides oppose it means nothing.
There is no way there will be a Republic in five years if we don't get a real conservative majority on the court.
In Bush's two terms the shredding of the Constitution has accelerated to warp speed.
It's that simple.
Well, this is certainly today's stupidest post.
But these "measurable targets" are adjusted, usually down, according to a person's skin color, gender, or even age, in order to achieve disversity. How is that good business practice for a successful business? I think it isn't. And I also believe it's counterproductive for the existing employees to excel, knowing they have no chance to advance because of their gender, skin color, or age. In the long run, it's bad business practice.
Revisiting the Ginsberg nomination reminds me how useless the GOP is at advancing traditional Constitutional practice. "Talk is cheap."
A Senator who truly believes in traditional, Constitutional jurisprudence would -NEVER- vote to confirm a Ginsberg. The fact that she got as many votes as she did is another example of the "fighting spirit" and "worth" of the GOP.
