LOL! And you can't even let Harriet Miers have a hearing. You're willing to destroy her and tear up the party so you can try to muscle the President.
I don't care about muscling the president. I've spent a lot of time defending him in this people's republic I live in.
But he let me down on this one. The ghosts of Earl Warren, Harry Blackmun, William Brennan, Lewis Powell, Potter Stewart, John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy, and above all David Souter are howling in my ears.
This was a bad move by the president. I'm just a semi-retired minister and driver of mental patients. What I think doesn't amount to much in the hallowed halls. But I also don't believe I'm the only one in opposition to this ghastly nomination. Bush has damaged his own side by needlessly fighting with his own base.
