Ok, so I was having lunch with some friends a little while ago at Old Ebbitts Grill [one block from the White House]. Anyway, its always full of senators, congressmen and other high-ranking officials there. I got to talking about the current nominee for Supreme Court, Harriett Miers. Well, according to his sources, she's just a sacrifice!
He assured me it was a classic Rovian move; she agreed to post for the job only to later be declined for the job based on pressure from the left. Giving the "left" their one victory at "knocking-down" a Bush nominee. Then later in the year, the real replacement will be shown. By then the left will have already have been given their opportunity to throw out one candidate and the mood for allowing them to throw out two in a row will be a substantially lessened; thereby making things easier for W to push him through.  PURE GENIUS

Reid seems to like her. If that is the plan, I think it is backfiring. The left seems to like her.

Yes, Perhaps when you pick one to sacrifice to the left maybe it should be one the left won't jizz on themselves to vote for? That spooks me. |

Remember that Reid originally said he liked Roberts too and he ended up voting against him. The fact that Democrats aren't flocking to any reporter who will listen saying that he nominated a crony who is way out of the mainstream does scare me |

Ebbits Grill....do they serve food there or is everyone drinking their lunch....?
So far this masterstroke policy is not meshing with reality. |

An excuse for Bush, like his dad, failing to keep his promises

Methinks your friend is grasping at straws trying to
justify this nomination. |

So what if Reid is gushing all over this candidate. He is only one senator. There is little indication that the rest of the 99 senators are going to follow his lead. Personally, I hope the story about throwing the Dems a bone is just a fabricated story because picking US Supreme Court justice should not be so haphazard. This is serious business. But then "making laws is a bit like making sausage, you don't want to know how it's done."

I can see it happening, but my money is on her implicit agreement to withdraw upon command.
She's been GWBs personal counsel for how long? |

I've eaten there before. Place had great food. I did not partake of the $250-per-shot scotch in the case behind the bar.

You meant to say you're having lunch at St. Elmo's Fire in stead and smoking a cigarette, right??

That's not what I heard at the local watering hole here. Basically what I heard was that Bush's policies make him a liberal/socialist and that this SCOTUS pick is a more liberal version of Sandra Day O'Conner. She will be inducted with around 65-70 affirmative votes and will legislate from the bench approving many socialist ideas, propping up the rights of big business over the rights of the american citizen, and be myopic in viewing the constitution taking away citizen's rights. If the American people don't like it then too bad.
I think all those drunks are 100% correct. |

She is DOOMED to fail confirmation given her 1993 stance before the ABA on abortion. That IS THE LITMUS TEST! Gee, how blind are you?
FYI, the ABA has been pro-abortion (death). Miers wanted a reversal. She is toast. |

Interesting take on the nomination.
My money is on Michael Luttig as the real nominee. |
