I DON'T GIVE A CRAP that she is a woman!! *rant* [View All]

I am watching news tonight- trying to catch up on what the talking heads are saying about Miers.

They are pointing out all the "firsts" she had as a woman. Who the hell cares?

AND there are democratic senators saying (Ried for one) stuff like "I'm glad he picked a woman to replace O'Connor."

Huh?

You know what? This feminist couldn't give a crap that Harriet is a woman. I really don't care. What kind of argument is that? Are women inherently for a woman's right to choose? Is she really going to advance opportunities for women in this country by being on the Court? If she is conservative as she seems, she could move women's rights backwards not forwards. Just because she is a woman doesn't mean she will fill O'Connor's shoes as the swing-vote who stuck up for women's rights. On the contrary, I think.

What do we know about her? We know she loves Bushy-boy. She thinks he is brilliant, for crying out loud. And she is VERY conservative.

This "she is a woman" crap is just about cloaking this nomination in what they think is "liberalism." Do they think we'll fall for that? That we are that stupid?
