The really scary part of this nomination, however, is the true intent, and it ties into what I said above – she would be nothing more than a tool, a bought jurist, to advance Republican agendas.

They plan on dirty dealing in elections from years to come, on gutting environmental and social legislation, on destroying public schools, etc. They can’t have any pesky judges who are actually familiar with constitutional law interfering with their plans. They’re putting in their rubber stamp.

You see, you can make anyone look like a dumbass if you try hard enough. It’s also very classy that you cited the ever-reputable Wonkette for the gay-baiting comment. Of course, being a member of the NY elite, I’m sure you never stooped to those lows to pay for school.

None of you know the first thing about this woman, not her beliefs, not her philosophy, not her moral positions. Is this the sum of citizen journalism? If it is, it doesn’t sound much different than the crap that the AP makes up.

This is from a Christian/Conservative web site that doesn’t think she is Christian/Conservative enough.

Powerline isn’t too pleased either.

Scary how unabashedly psychotic conservative commentators are, when government officials aren’t as wingnutty as them.

He also said he didn’t think our military should be used for nation-building. He’s said hundreds of things, while doing the complete opposite.

GWB is the creation of corporate lobbyists. He is no more a conservative than I am a unicorn.

Money and power for his buddies and sycophants. That is the Bush presidency.

And it always kills me when wingers decry “activist judges,” when that’s exactly what they want, but just “activisting” in their general direction.

She’s blogging already!

I learned long ago not to blithely wager against W – “misunderestimate” and all that.

But if you’re looking for a little action, I’d look into the Under/Over pool – I’m heavy on the Over for use of the words “crony” and “inexperienced” by the MSM during the next few days.

I would think that if they were trying a fakeout nomination, they would bring up a REALLY scray religious wingnut. That would appease the Robertsons and Dobsons of the world. When the nomination gets blocked, Bush shrugs and nominates a regular-strength winger.

But this woman? She’s a joke.

Yet another sign of the incompetence running rampant in this administration.

Political hacks for Supreme Court! What could go wrong?!
