Why do you think someone would simply give up their chance at history?

Do remember, she would be making a lot less money if she were confirmed.

Regardless of the reason Harriet Miers withdrew, whether on her own or because the President asked her to withdraw, one fact remains glaring. We the people, influenced our President and made him bend to our will. Thats right, all of us right-wing lunatics who are so like satan, got our President to follow what we wanted. Something all you left-wing lunatics have never been able to do.

Why did so many of us oppose this nomination??? Thanks to the work of former Chief Justice Rehnquist and current Associate Justice Scalia, there is a new school of jurisprudence based in conservatism and supported by their work on the Court. For the past 20 years, many young legal scholars have been exposed to this school. There are many bright and young legal members who have accepted this philosophy. That is who we wanted appointed to the Court. And now we will have exactly what it was that we wanted.

What amazed me the most was the nerve and audacity of liberal members of Congress like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi saying on television that this withdrawal showed the President that he would have to appoint someone who was more centrist. Like it was the liberals who made the President change his mind. Talking about being out of touch with reality. Are they really this idiotic???? Or did they actually believe what they were saying????

It is because Bush is a right wing lunatic.
And Miers wasn't enough like Satan for them.

But we got the change we wanted. Once again, lberals have never done that....

And if Bush right-wing lunatic, and Alito is alot like satan, well then so is a majority of the people in this country. Throwing out names is a waste, it just shows that you have no argument except for name calling. Come up with something better, its really old, and childish.

Yes, half the country is this way unfortunately. To me coming with your religion as a basis for law is very satanic in the way it impacts reality.

And why would liberals change the mind of a republican president, with a republican controlled congress???? Childish indeed.

The only thing that is fucked here is the yo-yo system these schmucks exploit to prevent the needs of the general public from being met.

I made the point about the liberals, not in regards to a Republican president, but rather a democratic one. THe left wing has no power even within it own party. Any democrat running for president immediately runs to the center.

Furthermore, the Court doesn't make the laws, but rather only interprets them. So your argument in regards to this nominee in regards to religion and making law is seriously out of context. It has no place in this debate. Congress makes the laws, now if you wish to have this argument regarding say Senator Santorum, or Representative Delay, I would be more than willing, but since this is about a Supreme Court nominee the argument is mute.

Interpretation is everything, which is why religion should be in this debate. People are interpreting the consitution as if it were the bible these days, seeing what they want to see to feel justified in the belief of the unknown. This is why Bush has nominated who he has.

This will directly impact my reality and millions of constituents who are not religious and should be up front and center in these debates.
