Actually, this is how they're operating. For someone like Edith Brown, we would already have a massive amount of data on decisions, court demeanor, etc. Someone like Miers, you have nothing, and since her main experience has been at the Bush White House, aka "I'm sorry, but we can't tell you what's for dinner, it's classified."
But disagreement with her on the issues isn't the only reason they can oppose her. It doesn't make her invulnerable. Her very lack of judicial or other demonstrable experience/expertise is reason enough, frankly, and I hope there are people of both sides of the aisle who'll run with it.
I think repercussions do tend to hurt other party members. Especially when a party is in lockstep top to bottom, as the Republicans are now. The top looks hinky, the bottom starts to look hinky as well. The top has had some really bad luck of late, with all of its scandals hitting at the same time.
Robert Bork, went nowhere (and contrary to what they'll tell you, it was his beliefs on Brown v. Board of Education that ultimately screwed him).
What, you mean it wasn't his ability to write an
incredibly bad
millenarian novel? It wasn't his tendency to scold like a kindergarten teacher from a Roald Dahl fantasy? It wasn't his really bad facial hair?
I think he went nowhere because he came across as Ted Kaczynski, rather than as a Distinguished Person. Roberts, who for all we know is just as extreme, has helmet-head and a retiring manner, so everybody is willing to live with him.
I wonder if many of the Republicans up for reelection in '06 will turn on Bush?
Is bon bon around? Pat Kiernan profile.
Does anyone here watch Crossing Jordan? I continue to be confused by people's jobs (like are Jordan, Bug and Nigel all medical examiners? Maybe with different specialties? They are confusing. Also, if Lily is a grief counselor, why does she have to do things like call maintance to fix things and keep Dr. Macy's schedule?)
It would be nice if candidate after candidate is rejected until say 2009. And did everyone like that beautiful sunrise view of the pyramids?
I just realised that I have a commitment ceremony to attend this weekend. I might have to drop the cash on that dress after all. For very First World values of the words "have to."
For the dress in question, does one
have
to wear stilettos?

Is this a life partners commitment? I think I need more coffee despite the late hour here, because at first, all I could think was mental institution.

You poor, poor dear.

What are you thinking of wearing, instead?

Shoes will need to be bought, I think, either way. I just want to buy shoes I can walk in without practice.
