I'm about to make a comment that will really cause Miers' defenders to screw themselves into the ceiling. If these words are an accurate peek into Miers' mind, it is not an impressive spectacle. She uses the fuzzy, imprecise, and lightweight phraseology of a social worker. I get the sense that she doesn't really connect with her ideas and express them so much as she vaguely senses their outlines and emotes them.

I had initial reservations about Roberts too, but when I read his opinions I was left with no doubts that he thinks powerfully and exactly, expresses himself with concomitant eloquence, and can strictly segregate his emotions from the facts and law before him. These traits suggest to me that Roberts cannot be co-opted, browbeaten, deceived, or shamed into submission by a more powerful and devious mind on the left.

I obtain no such similar assurance from reading Miers' words.

The devil is in the details. Kerry was for the RKBA too. So is Sarah Brady. But their ideas of what constitutes the RKBA and what the Founders meant differ significantly. The Brady Boob wants to institute a federally-mandated needs based licensing system for gun ownership. Such a scheme does not in itself negate the 2nd - it merely places extreme obstacles in the way of exercising it. That is more or less what a lib means when he/she says that "I support the RKBA." That's a far cry from the individual absolute right to own firearms free of government interference. Miers needs to be asked exactly what she thinks the 2nd means......and then held to a standard that does not reek of BS.

There is wisdom in that observation. It is the inescapable nature of the female creature to attach their emotion with decision making. Some just hide it better.

This is also partly a feminized male problem with liberalism in men. The male has been steadily feminized over the past few decades.

A lot of it has to do with men being feminized by smoking pot and using drugs, feminization of the male role in sexual relationships with pornography among other things, that for the purposes of brevity, I will omit...
