Harriet Miers - Supreme Court Condom - er . . . Conundrum
What a joke!!
Harriet Miers is “unqualified” for the “high” court!! So say the right-wingers.
If one studies and considers such bullshit, one can survey some truth.
Why are conservative vampires against Miers? (I’m against her because she’s a stiff-necked religious zealot and against choice, but why are THEY against her?)
They say she is unqualified – never been a judge! But a lot of Supremes had never been judges.
That doesn’t work; so they say she hasn’t been a governor, etc. – not enough experience. Well, what kind of experience are they talking about?
The fact is, anybody who has an IQ slightly higher than G.W.Bush’s is qualified to be a Supreme. So what’s the burr under the fascist saddle?
It’s not that Miers isn’t religious; she is. It’s not that she’s not a fundamentalist; she is. It’s not that she isn’t biased by her moronic religiosity against gays and atheists; she most likely is. It’s not that she isn’t against abortion; she definitely is. So what’s the problem?
The rabid Neo-beasts are unhappy, they say, because she isn’t an “intellect” or a “scholar” and she isn’t an ideologue. So, what’s wrong with that? She’s biased in ALL the preferred ways, isn’t she? What the hell do they want?
Well, if one realizes that the Supreme Court doesn’t really interpret the constitution, it makes more sense. The court should, according to the zealots, declare that the constitution means whatever the zealots want it to mean. The trick, and why they need “intellects,” is not to INTERPRET, but to JUSTIFY – after the fact – whatever shit they come up with.
Miers is likely to often interpret the constitution – through her crabbed perspective – in ways the fascist would applaud, but she’s not reliable. She’s truly a benighted fundamentalist who will act reliably upon her fundamental beliefs, but not necessarily on unrelated fascist beliefs. The impact of that pales in comparison to what a dedicated and intellectual fascist could accomplish. Miers might destroy many rights she finds offensive to God, but the Neo-Coneheads want a justice who will destroy everything that Grover Norquist finds offensive – as far as they are concerned, God can go fuck Himself!! He’s outside the beltway.

GREAT post there Pal!
I am amazed that no one has brought up the issue of why a woman of 'her' age isn't married AND heaven forbid, why hasn't she had children?
After all, we know how narrow minded the 'Right' can be with regard to those that don't share all of their same beliefs.
Yes--the spinning going on with this nominee is DAZZLING...they've almost managed to make her look ALMOST acceptable (DID I JUST WRITE THAT?).
As for the few points higher in the IQ Department that GW The IIdiot?
Maybe I have a shot! Where do I apply?
Take Care!
