Ann Coulter just took apart SCOTUS nominee on the Mike Rosen show (My report)

Ann Coulter's appearance on the Mike Rosen show, 850am KOA ^ | This morning, Mon. Oct. 4th | Report from Mike Rosen show

[ajolympian2004]

Ann Coulter just took apart President Bush's SCOTUS nominee on the air during her appearance on the Mike Rosen show here in Denver on 850am KOA. She called for listeners to write their senators to oppose the nomination. Wish you could have heard it!

Ann said - "Totally unqualified", called Judge Roberts "a 'dream' candidate in light of this nomination", mentioned "cronyism" over and over. Much more that I'm trying to digest. I called the station to see if they saved the audio, but no luck on that. Mike Rosen was just about speechless as Ann went on and on about why this was a lousy choice.

I agree with Ann. Huge mistake and missed opportunity.

Ann's choice, Janice Rodgers-Brown. Not enough intestinal fortitude in the White House to go with that choice.

Can't wait for Ann's column on this nomination later this week.

One doesn't need a law degree to understand the US Constitution.

Yes, it seems like lawyers make the big money finding ways to make it say what it doesn't say. And then telling us that without a law degree we wouldn't understand.

[johnb838]

In fact, I'd say more laypeople have a better understanding of what it means than do lawyers.

Or to revive the infamous Tarayza Heinz-Kerry short form of that... "You said what I didn't say, now shove it!"

I think that we do know the kind of justice that Miers will be, even more so on the issues of abortion and "gay rights." Harriet Miers may be relatively unknown outside of the Dallas area but she's highly thought of by conservatives around here. She' s been the only person on the Dallas City Council with a lick of sense in the past 20 years, she was president of a huge and powerful law firm, and she had a no-prisoners policy when she ran the Texas Lottery.

We STILL don't know if John Roberts will be a conservative on the Court. We know he's a member of the Federalist Society, and, to his credit, that he thinks using foreign court decisions as a basis for U.S. Supreme Court decisions is improper. We also know that he's claimed to understand the limited role of the judiciary. We don't know much else.

[ajolympian2004]

I, too, would love a fight, but... the most important thing is to get another true conservative on the court. Since the President has gotten many true conservatives on lower courts, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

I do not trust 'benefit of the doubt' on a Supreme Court nominee. We've been down that 'trust' path before too many times.

Ann go eat something for Pete's sake

I'm glad to see somebody out there agrees with me.

Maybe Bush will withdrawl her nomination and replace it with Newt Gingrich.

Which, when thrown in with her pre-Bush/pre-Pubbie days, puts her as Miss Congeniality, not necessarily Miss Conservative 2005 (the "pit bull in size 6 shoes" comment notwithstanding :-)

[smokeman]

I've said it before, a mid-term election and an insatiable taste for pork is incentive enough for a party-line vote.

Again, it's rather funny that FReepers should naturally support the president no matter what, but not Republican senators.

I am not arguing Harriet Miers case or defending the Presidents nomination. I am still on the undecided at this point, but am giving the President the benefit of the doubt considering that to this point all of his judicial nominations have been superb. I am only rebutting the assessment that JRB would not be filibustered. By the way, those "Republican Senators" already wimped out on the "nuclear option" so forgive me if I have a little more faith in the President than I do the Senate Republicans.

[johnb838]

They are swarming all over this thread. They usually self identify by axing questions like: "What's a "DU troll"?"

[steveegg]

Maybe Bush will withdrawl her nomination and replace it with Newt Gingrich.

With age apparently no longer a consideration, I'd take our own Congressman as the replacement nominee.

[johnb838]

This will turn out IMO like a less known but as conservative pro life version of Condoleezza Rice.

Ohhhh God! Do you even know what you're saying? Invoking Condoleeeeza Reich is not the way to ingratiate yourself around here these days.

Nonsense, Texas is a tough town and she it a tough cookie to be sure.

For a second, think about all the women around President Bush in his life and at the White House. His mom and wife are powerful women. The women of the White House have been powerful and that is the way Bush does things.

You have nothing to worry about.
You would have to be saying that after over a decade of having this woman working with him that he still doesn't know here. I doubt that, Bush sizes up people well IMO.

[johnb838]

Why the ad hominem attacks? That's what that is. Why not take it offline?

[tumblindice]

Thanks, but no thanks.
Can't get past the fuzz.

Which GOP Senators would do the fighting?

Those who don't should be exposed for the useless seat-fillers they are. They would be defeated in short order in the next election. An enemy you know in the seat is preferable to a 'friend' that abandons you when his vote is most needed.

We have a cultural problem in some of the jurisdictions that are sending these RINOs up, especially New England. Our best bet is to work to flip the rest of the "Ds" to "Rs" in the red states.

LOL Naw, though I have read his book "Play Poker Like the Pros". I stick to the tourist tables when I play (which isn't often), but I have never walked away from a table worse than breaking even. There are a lot of analogies that can be drawn between poker and politics. Patience, strategy and an eye on the end game.

[Rummyfan]

The Pubbies tried unsuccessfully to get cloture so they could have a vote on JRB. Only when the Gang of Fourteen struck their deal was she able to get a vote and get confirmed.
