we DO know two things about Miers

1. she is religiously insane

2. she has spent much time lawyering the law by exploitation and manipulation so the bushgang can do their crimes in relative comfort.

How do you confirm this?

All religious people are insane.

Some of them are as intolerant as the rightwingers, and yes you can be intolerant of a majority. South Africa was a perfect example of a minority being intolerant of a majority so I don't want to hear that argument.

If that ain't religiously insane, I don't know what it. It takes a heap of faith to even consider him mediocre.

you could tell by the things she said today too.

She was associated with an organization that "turns" gays straight by using religious intervention.

If this is true, its important. But we need more than hearsay.

By the way, what is her religious affiliation?

onenote

I presume that she a fundie, but have no actual knowledge of that.

That's Exodus International, not Exodus Ministries. Exodus Ministries, the one she worked for, is a religious group for ex-convicts.

I heard it on AAR, apparently it was a mistake. I thought it funny that nobody else was saying anything about it.

Is Exodus Ministries a fundie group? I presume it is. I cannot imagine Chimpy appointing a non-fundie to SCOTUS.

Got buried by a flurry of other threads.

:evilgrin:

It turns out that the Exodus Ministries she is/was involved with wasn't one "helping gays go straight" but an unaffiliated one that worked to help released convicts return to society. I don't think we really can complain about this without looking stupid.

1. She is unqualified

2. She is a Bush crony.

That combination hasn't worked elsewhere in the Administration. I have even less confidence in it as a formula for a successful Associate Justice.

Sheesh. Look at Clarence Thomas.

He hasn't had an original thought in decades.

from the legal battles to come.

Per The LeftCoaster:



Oppose her. Force the GOP members of the Gang of 14 to invoke the nuclear option to put this unqualified candidate on the court by a simple majority. Given the opposition from the base, I am willing to bet that they won't blow up the filibuster for a pick like Miers. Hell, at this point, it isn't even certain that Miers would pass with the full support of the GOP Senate caucus.

Look, a man who values loyalty to him and worship of him more than qualifications and competence when selecting a judge for the highest court in the land is a man with a screw loose. There's something wrong with George W. Bush, and perhaps its time for people to start talking openly about this.
