Right-Wing Peanut Gallery Hits Miers Hard

The Washington Post recently reported that Bush might go with a Supreme Court nominee that would soothe his conservative political base:


The president’s core supporters are urging bold action to sway the court to the right. Some think Bush might pick a hard-liner to keep his base happy and prevent a further drop in the polls.


It looks like Bush did just the opposite. Here what some conservatives are saying about the Miers nomination:


Michelle Malkin: “What Julie Myers is to the Department of Homeland Security, Harriet Miers is to the Supreme Court. It’s not just that Miers has zero judicial experience. It’s that she’s so transparently a crony/’diversity’ pick while so many other vastly more qualified and impressive candidates went to waste. If this is President Bush’s bright idea to buck up his sagging popularity–among conservatives as well as the nation at large–one wonders whom he would have picked in rosier times. Shudder.”


National Review’s David Frum: “The Miers nomination, though, is an unforced error. … obody would describe her as one of the outstanding lawyers in the United States.”

7. They don't trust a Bush Crony??

:wow: And here I thought they loved anything and everything in the mold of Bush!

Funny thing is, while they're destroying her they're fighting the fight for the Democrats. I'm betting she's everything Cons want and that she has no judicial experience is telling in how she would be on the court...in other words, what would Bush (the client) want her to argue? How can she frame that argument within the law to win a deciding vote for Bush's ideology?

They're shooting themselves in the foot if they are going this way! :rofl:

Ms. Miers is a regular guest at Camp David and is often the only woman who accompanies Mr. Bush and male staff members in long brush-cutting and cedar-clearing sessions at the president's ranch.
