The only person who has a choice in any judicial nomination, right or wrong, is the president.

Absolutely, no one is arguing that point, but please address the question at hand. Do you know what's being discussed?

I don't care- anyone who calls the Bible the "Baseball Encyclopedia of the religious" is a pretty damn clever writer.

I bet you could.

Unlike you, I know exactly what is being discussed in this article and on this thread.

My point/s ( and there actually were three ), was the summation/boiling down of the past several weeks AND the meat of HH's article.

Now refute those points or agree with them or ignore my replies completely. It's up to you.

"How does attacking another member's tenure help make your own case?"

Where/when did I attack another member?

Each anti-Miers ( and Chief Justice John Roberts' opponents too )pundit, is merely sour grapes, because the person/s they were rooting for, wasn't picked.

It would be bad enough for you to smear just one person by impugning their motives, but you manage to maliciously smear a large number of conservatives with valid concerns.

That's irresponsible behavior, unless your actual goal is to increase division and splits within the party. The only person who has a choice in any judicial nomination, right or wrong, is the president.

Check out the constitution sometime, it says that Senators can reject nominees. Presidents and Senators may be influenced by constituents, and yes even by newspaper columnists like George Will.

Griswold might have struck down the Texas law as overly broad, but in Griswold he came out against the "right of privacy" as understood by Douglas. Don't think he would have ever voted with the plaintiff in Doe.
One never knows, of course, but I suspect that he and White were on the same page in this issue. As you know, there were so many pro-abortion jurists who were nervous about making privacy the basis of the decision. Even weaker than Warren's sociological basis in Brown.

WOW I've never seen such vitriol! I just like George Will. I didn't know about him & Roe v Wade, though...

Hey nopardons, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself.
From the ann coulter thread-- looks like you were outed by the admin as adding some questionable keywords:


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1505444/posts?page=242#242

Append keyword "bitterbiatch"

"Each anti-Miers ( and Chief Justice John Roberts' opponents too )pundit, is merely sour grapes, because the person/s they were rooting for, wasn't picked. This is a new phenomenon; one which I do not recall ever having seen before. It should now go away!

yep

The Senate's role is ADVISE AND CONSENT; they do not haves the right nor purview of picking out the nominee!

I suggest that you buy yourself a very good dictionary, an annotated copy of the Constitution, and a passel of accurate, nonPC/revisionist history books.What I stated is a fact. Itr has ALWAYS been factual, and at no other time, in the history of this nation, have pundits and the MSM, let alone portions of the voting masses felt that it was their right and duty to go off on who the president pocked for the SCOTUS.

I didn't "smear" nor "impugn" a large number of Conservatives at all. Rather, I posted the bleeding obvious.

What was Ann Coulter's "valid concern about John Roberts? Can you even name two? She couldn't and didn't.

I get it......you don't like Miers. You don't like the article that heads this thread. You certain;y don't like my post. TOUGH !

Spare me the crap.
Another member said something you didn't like, something contrary to your own opinion, so you pulled up his member page and used the date he joined as an ad hominem attack as an attempt to discredit him.

It was low, irrelevant, and not at all admirable.

Hey Stellar, you should be ashamed of yourself, for so many and varied reasons, that it should make you head spin. But then, pots never do "get it". :-)

And yet Bush let Harry Reid pick Harriet Miers.

"These that came out the first day...slamming her and President Bush..are no better than the people like O'Reilly and others that came out slamming the Swift Boat Vets on the first day, without interviewing them, or reading their book."

That's what pissed me off, excuse my French.

The ARROGANCE of some these clowns to think they have all the answers and the President is just a dumbs&!t amazes me. I expect it from the left,i.e. KosKids, DU(mmies), moveon.org... but to to see it from the Children of the Corn(er) and Ingraham...very disappointing to me.

I'm not all that surprised by George Will, Bill Kristol...snakes in the grass as far as I'm concerned, I say.
