It doesn't matter - you can repeat it over and over again until you are blue in the face. The facts are what they are - and you only prove your overwhelming stupidity and/or dishonesty by continuing to ignore them.
You'd have saved yourself a good four, five seconds, easily, simply by typing: "Shoot. I have no intelligent answer for that, actually."
Well, you could have read the damn survey she just submitted to the Senate. She has a strict constructionist philosophy.
Now the point, when you actually start to pin him down, when Kent will begin to say 'click' or 'ciao' or somesuch and duck out of this debate.
Schummer would be a good 'Moe Green'.
Precisely, and another excellent reason not to confirm her. Politicans, for the most part, are more power-hungry than principled.
It's not surprising to me at all. There's plenty of factual stuff to oppose the Mier's nomination on - but some find it more fun, apparently, to lie about her.
That's rich coming from the side that has acquiesced to the politicization of this nomination.
Are you seriously saying that a woman who OPPOSED letting gays stick it in other guy's butts, who opposed letting gays have freedom to do what they want in their private time, would also be in support of an extreme liberal view of what rights gays should have?
You need to really stop smoking the weed.
How did it make it to his desk w/o strong Republican support in Congress. He also warned congress it was their responsibility to kill it. He wasnt going to do their dirty work for them just because they were cowards.
When it comes to the U.S. Constitution, Bush doesn't get it. He doesn't understand the strict limits on federal authority. He doesn't understand how this sets us apart as a free nation from all others in the world.

One or two days into this selection, I felt Miers was a Karl Rove strategy to get Tom Delay off the front pages. Still do...
I have no idea what your lengthy paragraphs had to do with anything, but they were certainly not a reply to the article.
This is the flat-out scariest instance of mass denial on public record since the whole "Paul Is Dead" craze of the late '60s. Seriously.
Civil rights mean gays shouldn't be beaten up in the streets. There is no indication she supported gay marriage.
You STILL have not explained why somebody who opposed the right of gays to have sex in their own bedrooms would support the facilitation of that sex by letting them get married!
Are you that stupid?
Was this a part of the pathethic questionnaire that caused the committee to get her to do a do over?
Im against Miers because she has no qualifications other than Bush says she is going to vote the right way. Wasnt it Bush that also said there were WMD in Iraq?
Oopps sorry she does have other qualifications: she's never been a judge, she is a Christian, she's a woman and she's from Texas. Yes those are hardy endorsements for a lifetime nomination.
After fighting for years to get a judiciary that bases its decisions on original intent as opposed to legislating from the bench, Bush is now appointing someone who is going to legislate in the right way. Also we have fought for years to keep religion out of judicial considerations. Rembember how offended we were when Schumer attacked one of our court nominees over his closely held personal beliefs (i.e, he was devout Catholic). We were inflamed. Now we have administration supporters and others going around saying support Miers because she is a fundementalist Christian and she is going to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Absolutely. I've always considered civil rights to be freedom from discrimination. You know, like the civil rights laws passed in the 60's that proscribe discrimination on the basis of sex, race, or religion.
Since when do civil rights have anything to do with marriage and adoption?
I DO believe in civil rights for homos and lesbians, because I don't think they should be discriminated against.
PS Don't bother insulting me, I'm immune.
CFR not strong overall but it was among the Independents that Kerry needed to have any chance to win.
What are you... a Kos Kid, on vacation from your normal stomping grounds? Gays already HAVE the "civil right" not to be "beaten up in the streets," moppet. We ALL enjoy the civil right "not to be beaten up in the streets." It's a civil right guaranteed -- in each and every state, throughout the union entire -- by simple, straightforward battery laws. Are you actually stupid enough (or, rather, to attempt feigning stupidity) not to know even THAT much?
G-d forbid that you're actually allowed to cast a ballot, in whichever state you and your luckless legal guardian reside.
