He's a mental midget. He couldn't hold Will's bowtie.

I'm ambivalent about Will, but Hewitt is a real puke. I would rather listen to silence or honking horns on my ride home.

George Will could serve ably on SCOTUS.

But so too can and will Harriett Miers, and all the aspersions in Will's deep well of such things won't change that fundamental fact.

I wouldn't put either one of them on the Court.

That Hewitt would really makes me wonder if he has any idea what the Supreme Court is all about.

"...Hewitt is a real puke"

You're a part-time minister?

Will's favorite justice was a supreme judicial activist. He sided with the majority on Roe v. Wade.

Will and Ann Coulter have made fools of themselves the last three weeks.

Powell's vote did not decide Roe v. Wade. Roe was 7-2, with the late Rehnquist and White dissenting.

I see many on the web are exercised about Harriet Miers' support for affirmative action in the private setting of support for resolutions of the Texas Bar urging quotas in hiring at private law firms. It is not a policy with which I would agree either, but it also not a matter of constitutional law, unless under Brentwood the action of the Texas Bar in urging private firms to set strict goals has converted into a state action.

The State Bar of Texas is an administrative agency of the judicial branch in Texas.

In addition, Miers as President of the Bar strongly supported quotas on the Bar's board of directors that required the appointment at that time of 4 minority or female attorneys to the Board. That would be a specific quota of an administrative agency of the State of Texas...not a policy urging private firms to hire more minorities and women.

Hewitt - you've just been b*tch-slapped by another SMU Law alumnus.

If he voted Yea on that decision, who cares? It was still one of the worst decisions made since Roger Tanney was alive.

That, right there, made me hold my nose and side with the pompous and odious George Will on the Miers nomination.

That's the difference between an owner and a sportswriter. One lives to win. The other lives to write good copy.

Or between a baseball PLAYER and a sportswriter. Remember "The Natural" and the interchanges between the Robert Redford character and the one played by Bobby Duvall? "Did you ever play the game?" Of course the sportswriter never did.

Hugh Hewitt makes Rush Limbaugh look like a Bush basher.

Peyton, thanks for pointing this out. I saw Jonah @NRO mention this earlier.

Also, here is another story about Miers supporting affirmative action for the Dallas Fire Department:


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1498195/posts?q=1&&page=201
"Miers' time on Dallas City Council provides some insight"
Miers was one of 10 Dallas council members to unanimously approve a 1989 agenda item that revised minimum height, weight and vision requirements for Dallas firefighters to facilitate "promotion of certain ranks in the Fire Department," particularly women.

The agenda item's title: "Implementation of Fire Department Affirmative Action Plan."

EXCELLENT post!!

[Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . I wonder why some on this thread give more credence to the rantings of a journalist/pundit than they give to the arguments of a constitutional lawyer/professor who has actually vetted prospective SC justices . . . seems rather hypocritical to me, but then I'm not using Democrat/liberal means to achieve supposed conservative ends!!]

I am frankly astonished that Miers could have supported the policy given that quotas constitute per se violations of the Constitution.

Powell was new to the court. If Hugo Black had been on the Court he would have voted against Roe. Or if he had, it would have been on narrow grounds Any opinion he wrote would have cast scorn on the word "privacy" used in this way.
