Harriet Miers withdraws

[redhatlinux]

I repeat my quote from Judge Judy on a Larry King interview 'Europe has a school for judges , maybe we should look into that idea'. I would hope that this was a ploy to get Sandra Day O'Connor to stay on. Not likely but this nomination has to be the most stupid thing that George has done. I can't believe that there aren't qualified people out there.

there are qualified people, but they have these things that Bush hates: a record of decisions.

With a nominee that has no record, he can sneak it past the democrats. And i'm sure the number of qualified people who have no record is extremely, extremely small (maybe ONLY john roberts).

That's not true at all. He's picked several circuit court judges with records.

Bit much if you ask me for someone who drives a forklift.

Does he get paid that much? 62/hr *8hour/1day *5day/1week=~10,000 if you do some approximations...Are you sure about that? Driving a fork lift nets you 120,000 a year(obviously b4 taxes)! Why aren't all the manufactoring workers the one with massive housing! I know MANY professors who make around that range (even a little under that!) and work on much more complicated things...

If wages really are that high, than Auto worker's unions need to roll over and die...otherwise it sounds like you might be exaggerating, or this is is some extreme circumstance not seen in 99% of the other situations...

this is probably an amount based upon if you figured in all his perks and benefits with his wages.

Nope. That is his hourly wage. I've asked him before. Perks are totally different. Hell I work for an HMO and I wish my benefits were as good as his. He still has a $2 co-pay for prescription drugs, mine is $20.

My prediction is that Bush will nominate somebody pretty conservative to placate his base and give them the fight with the Dems they are asking for. I also think it is sure not to be a white male (another woman, possibly a minority male.) However, I do wonder if he may go a little soft as a little FU to the base, since they embarrassed him and sank his 1st pick. He doesn't really seem like the forgive-and-forget sorta guy.

Predictions?

Wow how fvcked in the head does some one on the right have to be to think that this Miers BS was strategy? Do you really think bush can do no wrong?

And? His requirement for SCOTUS nominee is no record. That is his litmus test - he is playing politics with our courts.

I'll take that action. PM me if you want to lay, say, $20 on it.

what's so sad and pathetic about this administration and the Republican party is that before Miers withdrew there was talk about how awfult his administration was and how Republicans were fed up with the cronyism and it really looked as if Republicans were facing the reality of this administration. now with one move, apparently the right wing is in love with Bush all over again. it really shows how simple-minded a lot of his base must be.

also, anyone notice the TIMING of this was right before Fitzgerald is about to drop the bombshell on the indictments?

If 1 nomination makes a record I suppose. Of course Roberts couldn't have been chosen for his intellect or his legal career could he. :roll:

wow, i can't believe you made that comment with a straight face. this is the ONLY time Bush has ever done anything to correct ANY of his mistakes. the only reason he did it is because his poll numbers are very low, his administration is falling apart, the right-wing is pissed off at him, and he needs a way out. it's just amazing how easily the right wing can be fooled and hoodwinked, i'm starting to believe in this notion that they really are just sheep.

Umm.... What mistake did he correct? She is the one who resigned.

I'm glad you're in Bush's inner circle and you told him all of this. The only person who liked Harriet Miers was Harry Reid.

Sorry to bust your recent found admiration for Bush but he did'nt do it, she withdrew.
