Since when did opposing someone sitting on the Supreme Court amount to destroying them.

This has gone way beyond opposition. The intent now is to show Miers as a drooling idiot, barely able to tie her own shoes.

Or, as Ann Coulter says, Harriet's a "cleaning lady."

I hope this backfires like hell on you ubers.

You should limit yourself to discussing actual statements, not divining intent.

And Coulter did NOT say 'Harriet's a "cleaning lady."' She said: “Nominating Miers is like nominating the cleaning lady. I thought it was understood that we could expect a REAL conservative, one with a proven track record, not a crony!”

As I said earlier...hyperbole.

Show me where she is being "destroyed". Even if people are saying she is a "drooling idiot" (which they have not, they have simply said that she doesn't have the intellectual might to equal the likes of Scalia), that is not destroying her, it's insulting her. There's a pretty big difference if you ask me. I haven't seen any lynch mobs out for her head.
