A freeper I know doesn't believe that

[Can o Beans]

the Senate NeoCons submarined Harriet Miers nomination because of the lack of sufficient evidence that she would support their radical positions. Instead, he believes that line they are spewing about, "lack of experience in constitutional law".

Are there any recent articles that actually show that NeoSenators were unhappy about her lack of radicalism that I can show this fool?

1. Why bother?

[Gatchaman]

2. Freepers equate constitutional law with their radical agenda

They are right when they say she was totally unqualified for the SCOTUS, but their reasons are twisted by their own logical fallacies.

3. The Louisiana Senator who called for "written proof"

of her conservative credentials. Was that just yesterday? The day before?

Time stretches when "Fitzmas Eve" lasts a week!

4. That's okay...I know some Bushbots who think the liberals sank Miers.

They are brainwashed.

5. Lots of examples...

Ann Coulter - I have finally hit upon a misdeed by the Bush administration so outrageous, so appalling, so egregious, I am calling for a bipartisan commission with subpoena power to investigate: Who told the president to nominate Harriet Miers? The commission should also be charged with getting an answer to this question: Who was his second choice?

Robert Bork - With a single stroke--the nomination of Harriet Miers--the president has damaged the prospects for reform of a left-leaning and imperialistic Supreme Court, taken the heart out of a rising generation of constitutional scholars, and widened the fissures within the conservative movement. That's not a bad day's work--for liberals.

Howard Fineman on the "Conservative Crackup".

Religious conservatives
The Harriet Miers nomination was the final insult. Religious conservatives have an inferiority complex in the Republican Party. In an interesting way, it’s the same attitude that many African-Americans have had toward the Democratic Party over the years. They think that the Big Boys want their votes but not their presence or their full participation.

And what really frosts the religious types is that Bush evidently feels that he can only satisfy them by stealth — by nominating someone with absolutely no paper trail. It’s an affront. And even though Dr. Dobson is on board — having been cajoled aboard by Rove — I don’t sense that there is much enthusiasm for the enterprise out in Colorado Springs.

7. "Who told the president to nominate Harriet Miers?"

Uh, I thought he was SUPPOSED to pick the nominee. Wasn't she arguing a few weeks ago that a president should be given his way on nominees?Is she saying * is too stupid to pick his own nominee? Yeah, we know he's too stupid to pick his own nose, but that's another matter.
