Miers said of Bush “He (GWB) is the most brilliant man I have ever met. " She further went on to say that 'He has strong family values”
It is not about family values. Bush is simply not smart enough to have a girlfriend and come up with any alibis.
and you want to replace Sandy (chug-a-lug) O’Conner. as if

Laura Bush says sexism possible in Miers criticism By Tabassum Zakaria
Tue Oct 11, 8:47 AM ET
COVINGTON, Louisiana (Reuters) - First lady Laura Bush joined her husband in defending his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday and said it was possible some critics were being sexist in their opposition to Harriet Miers.

“That’s possible, I think that’s possible,” Mrs. Bush said when asked on NBC’s “Today Show” whether criticism that Miers lacked intellectual heft were sexist in nature. She said Miers’ accomplishments as a lawyer were a role model to young women.
A week after President George W. Bush nominated Miers for a lifetime appointment to the highest U.S. court, he remained on the defensive against conservative critics within his own Republican Party.
They say Bush missed a chance to pick an experienced judge with clear-cut conservative credentials who would firmly move the court to the right on such social issues as abortion, gay rights and church-state separation.
“Just because she hasn’t served on the bench, doesn’t mean that she can’t be a great Supreme Court judge,” said Bush, whose job approval ratings have sagged below 40 percent for the first time ever in recent polls.
Although some conservatives have supported the nomination, others have suggested Bush withdraw it and submit a new name, an appeal the president rejected last week.
Mrs. Bush, who had publicly supported the nomination of a woman to the high court, noted that Miers had been president of the Texas Bar Association.
“I know Harriet well, I know how accomplished she is, I know how many times she’s broken the glass ceiling herself. She is a role model for young women around our country,” she said.
Some conservatives have also accused Bush of cronyism for nominating a White House insider to the court. They have expressed fears that since not much is known about Miers’ views, she could end up being a liberal along the lines of David Souter, who was put on the court by the president’s father, former President George Bush.
Bush, who was in Louisiana on his eighth trip to check on the recovery from Hurricane Katrina after coming under criticism for the slow federal response to the disaster, said he knows Miers shares his conservative philosophy.
“I’m convinced she won’t change. The person I know is not the kind of person who is going to change her philosophy, and her philosophy is she is not going to legislate from the bench,” he said.
Miers has spent the last few days in her home town of Dallas gathering her written material in order to have it ready for her Senate confirmation hearings.
The suggestion Bush withdraw the nomination has not been echoed on Capitol Hill in Washington, where many Senate Republicans, even some who have expressed concerns about Miers, said they expected her to be confirmed by the Republican-led Senate
“I know Harriet well, I know how accomplished she is, I know how many times she’s broken the glass ceiling herself. She is a role model for young women around our country,” she said.
Ladies and gentleman…I implore you. “A’ccomplished..breaking glass ceilings…role model for young women” is this the kind of blatant sexual lesbian innuendos we want coming our of our first lady? :nono:
George..conrol your woman…she is out of her tree..
Re: Discussion topic
I think the reason why Republicans don't like her is because of her personal life. Experience is not an issue, its just that she doesn't 'fit the bill'. Miers who is never married, no kids and has an on off again relationship with a man for 25 years doesn't appear to be as Evangelical as most of the Christians want her to be.

So?
Join the club PD :D
Re: Discussion topic
play the sexism card so people get on the backfoot!
Re: Discussion topic
...but those people are Republicans aren't they? Democrats are no where to be seen.
Re: Discussion topic
Back foot or front foot, teh fact is no one knows where she stands on issues that are dear to both Reps and Dems. This is another blunder in the series of blunders by Bush. He got Roberts confirmed, but wussed out on the next one. He needed to send astrong message to the dems that Reps are incharge and should have nominated a staunch conservative.
Re: Discussion topic
This is weird…
AUSTIN, Texas - (KRT) - Harriet Miers, President Bush’s nominee for the Supreme Court, quickly developed a deep and almost gushing admiration for her boss from her earliest days in Texas government.
“You are the best governor ever - deserving of great respect!” she wrote in 1997, in a belated birthday note that was typical of the tone she used in her correspondence with then-Gov. Bush.
The letter was one of a handful of personal notes included in more than 2,000 pages of documents released Monday by the Texas State Library - most of them routine legal memos, press releases and transcripts. The letters offer a rare glimpse into the mutual admiration that sprung up between Miers and Bush after they began working together on Bush’s first campaign for Texas governor in 1994.
Bush responded to her birthday wish in kind, and included a humorous, if baffling, postscript.
“I appreciate your friendship and candor. Never hold back your sage advice,” he wrote. “P.S. No more public scatology.” Whether Bush was referring to Miers’ rough-and-tumble time as chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission or something else isn’t clear. Scatology refers to “the study of or preoccupation with excrement or obscenity,” according to Webster’s dictionary.

Re: Discussion topic
Why you think she is not a staunch conservative Kaleem?
Re: Discussion topic
Not really, Majority of the public disapproves the direction the country is headed and several prominent members of the GOP are embroiled in scandal. The GOP is not in good shape right now.
Re: Discussion topic
^ hahah...thems are kinky in texas.... Did you ever see how laura has a permanent smile on her face....looks like Joker from Batman. Well, I am sure Miers has been there under the vase touching the daisy.
Re: Discussion topic
I am not saying that she is but no one can confirm that she is either. She has no experience (as a judge). It is a possibility that deal was struck where Dems will ease up on the doggy Delay in exchange for a non-conservative nomination.
Re: Discussion topic
UTD sya whatever you want, the fact remains that they are incharge …
Re: Discussion topic
This thread is so not about her supreme court nomination people...what the fk is wrong with you all. This is about more pressing matters, like Laura doing the Roseanne Barr...
