[ARCHIVED THREAD] - BUSH TO CONSERVATIVES, "SUCK IT UP AND STFU!!!" ON MIER (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 10/5/2005 1:21:34 PM EDT

I'm sitting here watching Nicolle Wallace, the White House Communications Director, on CNN calling conservatives who criticize the Mier nomination "Hacks and Flacks" who should stick to what they know unless they've worked in the West Wing and know Mier.

Read the post again. It doesn't mater the medium --FoxNews, Rush Limbaugh or CNN-- the message is the same. This is "Nicolle Wallace, the White House Communications Director" delivering the message that the President directed her to, that we should keep our mouths shut until it's too late and we possibly find that she's another Souter.

So her words were were different on another station?

If that's how they feel..... fuck him and anyone who supports him. If they really want to tell me to piss off they can ask my dog to vote for them.

. Other canidates that is... I know there's not much I can do about Bush in the next election since he ain't running.

I think the President said "I know this woman. Trust me on this one." I'll do so till the first round of opinions comes out. Sadly, Bush wouldn't be the first president - or even the first President Bush - to get shanked by a USSCt nominee he thought he knew.

Bush is an ass. He had his chance to completely F**K the Dems for a long, long, time-to really put the stake through their hearts. And yet he still panders to those who will not ever support him anyway. I think I have reached the point where I would vote for a gun-loving Dem. I cannot believe I just said that.

Well his communications director might need some remedial public relations instruction if that's really what she uttered. It seems like a pretty bold move to tell your core suppporters to just shut up and like it. Not a great way to get cooperation from your own side of the isle.

Nominating this woman to the Supreme Court is an insult, and this time the Dims may be right about cronyism. This woman has never been a judge, and I don't think she has ever argued a single case before the US Supreme Court.

There are literally thousands of lawyers and judges in this country who are WAY more qualified than Miers to sit on the Supreme Court. This sure looks to me like Bush is rewarding a trusted and loyal soldier with a position that she does not deserve.

I hope that her nomination is voted down.

Miers on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms: The New Republic's fine &c blog points to a 1992 article she wrote for the Texas Lawyer. In the article, she points to three infamous multiple homicides in Texas: the 1966 Texas Tower Shooting, in which a man climbed the clock tower at the University of Texas, and shot 14 people. (He was finally stopped when two policemen and a civilian rushed the building.) The second was the 1991 Killeen massacre, where a man entered a Luby's Cafeteria, and methodically slaughtered unarmed 23 people. (The incident played a major role in Texas rescinding its ban on carrying concealed handguns, and enacting a Shall Issue permit law.) The third incident in Miers' article had taken place recently; a man murdered two judges and two lawyers in a Fort Worth courthouse.

"How does a free society prevent" such crimes, she asked. She then explained:

The same liberties that ensure a free society make the innocent vulnerable to those who prevent rights and privileges and commit senseless and cruel acts. Those precious liberties include free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of liberties, access to public places, the right to bear arms and freedom from constant surveillance. We are not willing to sacrifice these rights because of the acts of maniacs.
Miers, however, rejected the notion that "precious liberties", including "the right to bear arms," should be sacrificed in the name of crime prevention. Quite obviously, she was referring to the "right to bear arms" as an individual right.

It's technically possible that she was referring only to the Texas Constitutional arms right, which clearly is individual, rather than to the Second Amendment. However, the context of the quote does not seem so constricted, and even to describe the Texas right a precious liberty says a good deal about Ms. Miers' thinking.

Rehnquist was never a judge either, he turned out alright didn't he?
We know President Bush was looking for someone who wouldn't turn-coat 3-10 years down the line. Who would he know better than those in his most inner circle?
Don't get me wrong, i'm not very happy with the pick, BUT I understand it. If the President can get a conservative on the high court without a huge fight, it's advantageous to the party, and consequently to the country.

how do we know she's not gonna turncoat 10years from now? she used to be a democrat by all accounts. guess she has already turned once at least huh.

Look. She MAY be fantastic. She MAY be a werewolf in sheeps clothing poised to destroy the entire barge of liberal thinking. She MAY be the best justice that ever sat on the bench. Maybe. There is not one damn thing to know about this lady and what her inner thoughts are on the issues of the day other than the simple say-so of Bush. Some articles here and there and a blurd or two. Maybe he's right. But there is good reason to be a little leary of a pick that nobody can produce anything but a few articles here and there to make an up-or-down call on her.

Rehnquist may have been just like that, but is that a reason to make it a habit? I have met people who on occasion with no qualifications other than a recommendation turn out to be gems. On the other hand how often do you in the process of hiring a person or evaluating them just toss aside the fact that they have nothing of intrest to base a choice on, when in the field there are hundreds of others with a long list of qualifications. Because it worked out once is not a great reason to repeat it.

What galls me is the "shut up and like it" attitude that got presented today. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on if he feels he has no reason to back up and explain his choice to the people who put him in office. That is what set me on fire today. Not a bright move in my view at all.

If it's all part of your master stroke of genuis perhaps you might want to fill in the heavy hitters on your side so they aren't giving the press great quotes of a republican seriously questioning the appointment. I get that nasty "deal" feeling here and I don't like that she was on a list of "won't fight it's" for the Dems.

Quoted:
I think the President said "I know this woman. Trust me on this one." I'll do so till the first round of opinions comes out. Sadly, Bush wouldn't be the first president - or even the first President Bush - to get shanked by a USSCt nominee he thought he knew.

Like Bernard Kerrick

"I know this man" bush said.

I'm waiting to hear more on Mrs. Mier.

If you continue to vote for Republican candidates whom you know will refuse to curtail government spending, will enlarge the federal government, and refuse to support the constitution, you have no room to complain when they do all those things.

Vote for the candidate you think is best for the job. Don't vote Republican just because they're big and compete with the Democrats.
