That is, if it is clear going in to the vote that she will pass.

Let's face it, if she is going to pass anyway, we should give her a unanimous vote and watch the freeper's, fundie's and other circus clown's heads explode.

It would be worth the show to watch Hannity and his ilk wet their panties.

1.  i like this idea
it looks like david suitor will have 2 clones on the us supreme court if all goes well and then the freepers will be so divided in 06-08 they will not be able to agree on any candidates or anything.

3. Repugs are getting angrier by the moment. Bush has lit the fuse
What a beautiful sight - angry neocons being had by their very own leader.

6. This woman may well slam the door on reproductive choice...
...in this country, for years to come. To hell with any Democrats who won't stand up and say no to that.

7. And then watch our civil rights slip away into nothingness.
Frankly, I think it is time to move. I fervently believe Miers is a fundie at heart and will "vote" from the bench according to her beliefs. Bye-bye women's reproductive freedom. Bye-bye women and minority vote. Bye-bye to our right of freedom of religion. It's all done.

The Senate will confirm her. The Dems will lie down again. And I will vote against Mr. Kohl here in '06 and Mr. Feingold in '10...if I'm still here.

8. there's such a thing as standing up for principle . . .
something that the Democrats seem to frequently forget . . . given the importance of SCOTUS nominees, this is one of those times when they should remember . . .

9. this nut job believes that the bible is literal truth
do we really want someone like that in the Supreme Court?
Can we afford to have someone so brain-damaged and faith-based, that all of her rulings will drip of some fundie christian ideals?

Not in my country.

This is one very scary appointment. And when a bigger nut job like Dobson supports her, you know that this country is in deep shit.
