Patrick Ruffini says it best: some well-meaning folks are letting old school credentializing get in the way of confirming a real-world conservative who would move the Court in the right direction. We know little about Harriet Miers and her judicial abilities. We do not know how she has ruled, since she never sat on the bench. We do know that President Bush has worked with her for 5 years in the White House. Now, Bush may not be a conservative on domestic issues, but, I suspect that his pick of Miers goes to his #1 priority: getting another person who will not legislate from the bench on the bench. "Is it Constitutional?" should be the one and only way of ruling. No feelings, no agendas. I’ll trust that Bush has picked that type of person, and just chill.
How else to chill? Mark at Blogs for Bush writes: "Remember that little thing you’re supposed to be doing every day – its called "living". This is where we fail to act like Kossacks, DUers and other assorted lunatics and don’t live and breath politics every minute of every day." How true.
I have avoided the nuts at the DU, Kosbat, ACT, MoveOn, for over a month now, since Hurricane Katrina and the insanity the Left brought. Why bother. They are just getting "progressively worse." Why read what insane people write?
So just chill, and wait for the hearings.

Piranhas in a Teapot
I find it dismally intriguing how the right is cannibalizing itself over the nomination of Harriet Miers. At this point in time, whether she is an originalist, textualist, activists or any other assorted ‘-ists,’ everyone should just take a moment to…
The Overreaction From The Right
I just want to say that I think too many blogs on the right completely overreacted to Bushs pick, though some seem to be calming down a little from their initial reactions. There is legitimate reason for concern when we dont know anythi…
10 Reasons I Like Harriet Miers
My gut instinct told me support Harriet Ellan Miers.
My friend, Daisy Cutter’s reaction was Daily Kos and Chuck Schumer like her, therefore we should not. Why should I listen to Schumer or Daily Kos? Or for that matter, Dan Balz?
Ten reasons I li…
I’m keeping a list this time of the Chicken Littles jumping ship on Miers. She’s his lawyer! Sheesh. If that don’t vouch for her, nothing will
