Opposition to the nomination appears to come mostly from a cabal of far right conservatives coming over from Confirm Them.Com and groups of lefties originating mostly in New York City, and Boston. Toss in a few no votes from useless Michael Moore screamers that were previously banned from commenting on this site and a couple of non-citizens expressing an opinion from overseas and a truer expression of the conservative base becomes clear. They all say the same thing: I SUPPORT THE MIERS NOMINATION.
Oh, and in case you are wondering how I know where the no votes come from, it's a variation of the technology which allows me to welcome readers, like you, from .
Here's a wrap up of all the Miers related info on these pages:
- Batter Up: The original Miers post on Monday, October 3rd. President Bush described her as a "Pit Bull in size six shoes." I also noted that Ann Coulter and other righties were likely to oppose the nomination. Mr. President: time to let the Pit Bull loose in the Senate!
- Minutes after that announcement,the Right Whiners started cranking up the complain machine. When I read the comments at Confirm Them, I thought I had logged onto Democrats Underground by mistake.
- I'd Rather Be a Right Winner!
was another warning to fellow conservatives that the goal is a restructured court, not a food fight with Democrats. Also, the goal of a conservative majority government only gets more distant if some conservatives behave like children who didn't get the toy they wanted on Christmas morning. - In Harriet We Trust? The Bush Rope a Dope?
- Confirm Miers or Say Hello to House Speaker Pelosi! posted on October 9 had this highlight from another exchange at Confirm Them where the respondent said: "I think losing one house of Congress would force them [Republicans] to stand up and fight for their principles."
- On October 9: Miers Another Clarence Thomas? includes an excerpt of an article by Ken Masugi, who worked with Clarence Thomas at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
- Miers Another Thomas II, has the link to the Hedgehog report describing Thomases pre-Scotus legal career.
- Conservative Spat Damaging 2006 Election Prospects was posted on October 23. Another example of the "take my marbles and go home" conservatives at Confirm Them: "I dont care how weakened [the President] & GOP look from here on out! As far as Im concerned the Miers nomination should be trashed and to hell with the rest of Bushs agenda."
- Finally, the October 22 analysis of Miers qualifications and conservative opposition and possible political fallout.
