Comments on: After Miers, Bush May Not Feel Need to Nominate Woman http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/bush_is_not_expected_to_feel_need_to_pick_woman_again_-_new_york_times/ Online Journal of Politics and Foreign Affairs Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:04:51 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Anderson http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/bush_is_not_expected_to_feel_need_to_pick_woman_again_-_new_york_times/comment-page-1/#comment-62436 Anderson Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:17:35 +0000 http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/12473#comment-62436 Interesting. If we were still trying to find an intelligent basis for the Miers nomination, it might be "okay, you HAD your female nominee, so don't blame me if I pick a guy." Nevertheless, the notion that these 50 United States include no women both (1) superbly qualified for the Court and (2) ideologically acceptable both to Bush and to the Senate, is preposterous, even sexist.

I could care if they nominate a turtle (PETA might demand it)as long as the individual was a strict originalist who doesn't believe their role to be law maker, but interpreter of original intent. Someone who isn't an activist about whatever cause they personally support. The upcoming battle has already been framed and exposed by Chuck Schummer. The Republicans will destroy America unless they comply with two Democrat demands: 1) Replace O Connor with another "SWING" jurist only!(the replacement lie) 2) Maintain political "BALANCE" and don't swing the court to the right. (the balance lie-as if this isn't what elections decide) The Republicans had better head this deceitful approach off at the pass as this crap sells on Constitutionally ignorant mainstreet. Expect to hear the MSM and every DEM liberalcrat to be mouthing these two words as mantra ad nauseum!
