Remember - Harriet Myers Nearly Got A Seat On The Court

[ThomWV]

And was supported by scads of Republicans.

[Junkdrawer]

1. The Buzz was that she was "Too Moderate"...

:wow:

[spanone]

2. Scary as hell ain't it? Alito made it....scary as hell too.

[nevergiveup]

3. Damn!

You had to remind us. When I hear her name I try to pretend like I don't remember anything about her.

[BlueStater]

4. I wouldn't say "nearly"

As I recall, the Pubs were fiercly opposed to this ditz from the very beginning.

[WinkyDink]

6. I thought only the most vocal Fundies were, and they held sway.

[MasonJar]

5. What does it matter? Are not Alito and Roberts just as partisan?

At least she was a woman. None of the Bushites is going to convict Geogie Porgie of anything.

[WinkyDink]

7. Yes, but Meirs is implicated in this AG scandal.

[kirby]

8. So did Alberto Gonzales

His name was one of the first floated since he had been on the Texas Supreme Court (Bush appointed him there). The right-wing like Focus on the Family opposed the nomination because Gonzo had ruled on a case about parental notification .

[IChing]

9. I don't remember, I have no recollection, I don't recall ,I didn't keep any

memos that she was ever nominated by the BushenFuhrer.
You might be right on that but I wasn't there.
