destruction Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 Miers Supreme Court Pick: Another Anti-American Neo-Con Yes-Woman Paul Joseph Watson | October 4 2005 In Harriet Miers, Bush has selected another Neo-Con yes-woman who will not, as naive conservatives had hoped, attempt to overturn Roe vs. Wade or any other abomination, but will obediently trash the Constitution and continue to move America towards despotism and big government. How can we be surprised any longer that a self-proclaimed conservative who has overseen the biggest expansion of government ever witnessed has again made a decision (or been told to make one) that pushes the country further away from the ideals expressed by the founders? Should we be concerned that it takes a liberal feminist, Tammy Bruce, to point out how Bush has alienated a conservative base that in many cases still refuses to acknowledge that Bush is simply doing the bidding of a larger agenda? "The reality is that two of the four dissenting members (the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist and retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor) on the Kelo decision are now gone. The government is now larger than Franklin Delano Roosevelt ever imagined. President Bush is not an authentic conservative.†It takes a radical feminist to point out that Bush is not a real conservative. No, you haven't entered the twilight zone, this is America in 2005. An America where 'conservative' Bush calls the Minutemen dangerous vigilantes, echoing the sentiments of socialist Lloyd Doggett who compared them to the Klan. Bush is about as conservative and morally sound as a Lynne Cheney lesbian sex novel. Miers is a Bush crime family insider who has covered up for her bosses in the past. As Global News Matrix reported, Newsweek reported on July 9, 2000 that the Bush campaign "launched a secretive research operation designed to scour all records relating to his Vietnam-era service" during preparation for Bush's 1998 re-election campaign. They paid "hard-nosed Dallas lawyer named Harriet Miers" $19,000 to review the records. According to Newsweek, one result of her work was to deflect charges that former Texas House Speaker Ben Barnes helped Bush get into the Texas Air National Guard despite low qualifications and a long waiting list. Barnes was later forced to testify under oath that he helped Bush. Just as he picked a FEMA director with no emergency management experience, Bush has selected a Justice who has never been a judge. But what about her record? Surely this stands up to a benchmark of staunch conservatism and moral fortitude? Miers is on record as supporting the establishment of the International Criminal Court, homosexual adoptions, a major local tax increase and women in combat. The issue of women in combat led Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, to speculate that Miers was installed in order to direct a future court ruling making it mandatory for women to register for selective service, paving the way for a sweeping draft. Miers' support of the International Criminal Court, a stepping stone to world government designed to strip legal sovereignty and suffocate American citizens under federal globalism, can hardly be called Reaganesque. Miers' 1999 report to the American Bar Association encouraged, "the enactment of laws and public policy which provide that sexual orientation shall not be a bar to adoption when the adoption is determined to be in the best interest of the child." Children adopted by homosexual parents have been found to be under threat of disproportionate abuse. The icing on the cake is the admission that Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid urged Dick Cheney and Andy Card to pick Miers. So the Neo-Cons are in meetings with leading Democrats about who to choose beforehand and yet the media churns out the incessant spin that Bush wants to move the Court to the right. This is a rigged game. The Democrats and Republicans have joined forces to select the right candidate to serve their combined interests, creating a federalized jack-booted police state while sinking America into a deeper abyss of cultural and ethical decadence.

destruction Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 Bush's pick faces a revolt by the right BY TIMOTHY M. PHELPSWASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEFOctober 14, 2005WASHINGTON - For years conservative and liberal legal groups have been gearing up for the biggest battle over a Supreme Court nomination since 1987, when Robert Bork's appointment was defeated in the Senate.But the nomination of White House counsel Harriet Miers by President George W. Bush has turned that battle on its head, with many conservatives feeling betrayed and coming out in opposition while Democrats scratch their heads on the sidelines, wondering what to do.Never before in modern times has a Supreme Court nomination been in serious jeopardy from the nominee's own party, but that appears to be the case today.Eleven days after Bush proudly announced the nomination of his longtime friend and lawyer, it is not clear that she has the support of even a majority of the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee. The Republicans' staffers are said to be opposed.A number of conservatives have come out against her, and some are working against the nomination as hard as if Miers were the reincarnation of liberal Justice William Brennan, who retired in 1990.The Drudge Report, a conservative Web site more used to exposing the real or imagined sins of liberals and Democrats, yesterday bannered a report on "hidden testimony" by Miers in a lawsuit in 1990 when she was on the Dallas City Council.Miers said then that she did not belong to the Federalist Society, a now-powerful organization of conservative lawyers intent on moving the judiciary to the right, because it was "politically charged," according to the Web site. But Miers was less critical of liberal organizations like the NAACP.Members or close allies of the Federalist Society were among those thought to be under consideration by Bush for the court, and some are among those most appalled by Miers' selection.The objections of her conservative opponents are twofold. One, they say, is that her only qualification is her friendship with Bush, because as a corporate lawyer and counsel to governor and now President Bush she has not often faced fundamental issues of constitutional law. The other is that they are not sure how committed the former Democrat is to their cause, because she has no judicial or other record to go on."This president ought to appoint someone with stellar qualifications and proven intellect who can fully participate in the discussions of these issues," said one prominent Federalist Society member close to the White House who did not want to be identified.He said Miers did "corporate litigation but didn't try many cases in court. There must be 100,000 people like that out there." The nomination appears to be heading for "a train wreck," he said.Patrick McGuigan, an Oklahoma official who led confirmation battles for conservatives in Washington in the 1990s, said that Republican presidents going back to Dwight Eisenhower have made the mistake of putting people of unproven ideology on the court only to have them turn out to be liberals, like Brennan, appointed by Eisenhower, and current Justice David Souter, appointed by Bush's father.Bush has appealed to conservatives to "trust me" that he knows how Miers will vote, and also cited her religion as a reason he picked her. Miers belongs to a conservative Evangelical congregation in Dallas.This appeal has worked with some influential conservative religious figures, like Pat Robertson and James Dobson, who are supporting her, splitting the conservative movement.Senate Democrats and liberal judicial groups admit to being unsure whether to take Bush at his word and therefore oppose Miers, or to agree with conservatives that she is a closet moderate and therefore support her.Nan Aron of the liberal Alliance for Justice said the nomination "has the feeling of approaching some tripping point after an avalanche of statements going after Miers and even Laura Bush," who praised Miers on Wednesday. "It's a free-for-all."She said "there is not much to go on" in Miers' record but that there are some clues that she might be a moderate. Aron said she is suspicious that the White House wants to cow Democrats by making them think they will get someone worse if they oppose Miers.One Democratic senator who asked not to be named said the Democrats, who control only 45 votes, can still defeat another nominee if Miers is withdrawn in favor of some of the judges favored by conservatives.Asked if he would support Miers, he said, "I have no idea what I'm going to do. There are some people so weak they will do whatever [Justice Antonin] Scalia wants or whatever they think Bush wants."He said some Senate conservatives appear to relish a fight over the vacancy created by the resignation of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a swing vote on the court."They want a big fight. They think they can convince America to be anti-choice and that government is evil," he said. "Bush and [political adviser Karl] Rove realize that's just not going to happen." Bush, he said, is "trying to thread the needle" by picking someone without a record and trying to reassure the hard right.Conservative groups have long waited to avenge the defeat of Ronald Reagan's nomination of Bork in 1987 and with Republican control of the White House and the Senate looked forward to this key nomination - because of O'Connor's swing vote - to do it.Copyright 2005 Newsday Inc.http://www.newsday.com/news/printedition/nation/ny-usmier144468669oct14,0,3543819,print.story?coll=ny-nationalnews-print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
