A 30-second TV ad is set to air tomorrow, Wednesday, that some believe may be as effective at helping stop the Harriett Miers confirmation as the Swift Boat ads were in helping stop John Kerry.
BetterJustice.org, a conservative grass-roots organization, created and funded the hard-hitting anti-Miers (but pro-Bush) ad. The organization's board of directors includes several otherwise staunch Republican stalwarts, such as David Frum and Linda Chavez.
"Miers is no more qualified to sit on the Supreme Court than I am to be a sumo wrestler!" So stated the so very un-sumo-like Ann Coulter.

No, the uppety jerks had the audacity to trust Bush when he campaigned on getting "confirmed conservative judges in the mold of Scalia and Thomas" rather then in mold of Michael Brown.
Who do they think they are?
I doubt that is true, but in any event it is irrelevant. Do you think that being on the winning side is all that is important? Politics is not like cheering for a sports team.
For many, I suspect that identifying themselves with a winning side gives their life some meaning. That is why I believe so many love being boot lickers to Clinton and Bush.
Ok there you go! :), we go through the same arguments over and over... I will try to be brief: Remember the whole thing about the "fight" for our ideas, etc, etc, etc... rather than just taking the easy way out and by nominating someone w/o a paper trail, you were in fact caving to the Rats, by resorting to most stealth person you find?... Rather than "coming through the front entrance" unahame of what conservatives believe?
Oh yes, and that would mean the Rats would go crazy... and the Republican rats (RINOs), would also have to come out their holes and BE EXPOSED AGAIN, so that all of us, would once again see them for the TRAITORS (gang of 7) they are? Would you not love that!? - I can not prove this, but believe these 7 TRAITORS /RENEGADES /WEASELS! :) had a lot to do with GWB pick. My point, why did GWB give them sanctuary by going along with them?... Why did he not have the guts to say NO WAY!... hey you cowards, want to reject him/her, you do it, but I (music in the background..) will do the RIGHT THING AND FIGHT FOR OUR BELIEFS.... then, we all would have been so proud indeed of his courage, his conviction, his loyalty!
Yea..well how easy would it be to scan trough someone's writings and pick out the worst you could find?
Here are some more with a little less biased spin and there is a lot more out there then people are letting on.
I am wondering what the real reason is behind saying Mier's has exceptionally poor writing skills because it is not evident in 99% of what I have read independently.
"Even as early as the first semester in law school, aspiring students notice that there is something different about studying law. Phi Beta Kappa undergraduate performance does not translate into sure success in law school. Much study and even technical understanding of the rules do not ensure high marks. Other qualities are necessary elements of success. For example, excelling law students show the ability to understand and advocate both sides of a controversy, the facility to spot issues with legal significance in complicated fact situations, adaptability, an aptitude for persuasion, and importantly, judgment. These criteria for academic performance are new to most students, but are clear signal that law is a different discipline---one that cannot be characterized as purely a science." Harriet Miers; Texas Bar Journal '93
Wholeheartedly AGREED.
"I've decided to withdraw Harriet Miers and replace her with Janice Rogers Brown for the seat of Associate Justice"
So President Bush should follow your own personal wet dream?
President Bush has outsmarted the democrats for 5 years, let the professionals do their job.
"Howling mob? These are the people that got the Republicans where they are."
If Fume, Coulter and the NRO is the face of the Conservative movement, then its dead and I will be happy to help bury it. These people are using "conservative" to stir up $#!T to sell their opinion.
GWB should appoint Meirs to an appellate court if he thought she were qualified, not the SC. There are way too many more qualified people out there.
I stopped "Trusting" when GWB signed CFR admitting at the time it was unconstituional.
Very few conseratives voted for the "little general." It was mostly moderates.
"I was responding to someone who said that Borks opinion of Myers should be discounted because he couldn't get himself on the SC himself, so I don't disagree with you one iota."
Gotcha. That response was one of the prime examples of a really quite disturbing trend here where if the ideas can't be challenged, you simply discredit the speaker. Imagine, having to tear down Robert Bork to make your point.
(shakes head)
Translation: "Agree with me and I'll vote for you!"
Yeah. It indicates the presence of a pinhead, since only conspiracy pinheads use the phrase.
Damien has arrived!!!
Just what I have been waiting for.
Placing the power to consent to the President's nominee requires the Senate to make the appropriate effort to learn about the nominee...an act which, in the absence of "judicial cliff notes", or NYT stories, requires them to fact-gather. The hearings, and other fact-finding endeavors such as the reading of her papers, are necessitated by the responsibilty granted in the Constitution.
"Not a dime; the "real, true" conservatives will finance this."
Your dumber then a Coulter if you believe that non-sense. Keep a close eye on where the money is coming from. You might want to know who your new friends are.
Amen.
