Federalist Society planning coup on Miers
From ABC's "The Note":

On the heels of the Judiciary Committee staffers appearing in the New York Times and Washington Times on Wednesday, a Federalist Society member tells ABC News the following:

"The Federalist Society staffers are ready to launch a coup. They have started whispering awful things about Miers. The staffers are just now reaching the point of wanting to talk on background."

"The whispering started on Monday, but has revved up. . . ."

"They are willing to talk."

Federalist Society staffers don't get to vote on the nomination, of course. But if the whispers get louder from a key Administration ally on judicial nominations, perhaps some Senators may listen. That could be ominous.

1. Nice.
The Federalists expected one of their own, and now are going to revolt. The in-fighting continues...

3. These are the nasty, vile whispering (sometimes screeching) campaigns
they run against Democrats all the time - and the press and Republicans always give them a pass.

4. Snicker
That pack of fascists was designed to get one of their members on the SC. They must be PISSED.

I figure Miers can't be worse than anyone those nazis would come up with. This whole thing is just a joy to behold. Just because the smirking moron likes her doesn't make her ipso facto evil. The odds are she is, but anyone the Federalist Society comes up with is a dead certainty.

Remember, Ann Coulter, Ted Olson, Vickie Walleye and most of the rest of the truly evil scumbuckets you see on the gabfests are either Federalist Society or AEI. Two organizations that need to disappear.

5. HA HA HAHAHAHAHA. God, they're so transparent.
Well, maybe not so much. These guys are bad hombres and you can bet that what they plan for this country is not a good thing. If divide and conquer is their method, God only really knows what their final goal is.
