Constitution headed for win in Iraq

Another factual refutation of the anti-war moonbat assertion that the efforts in Iraq are failing.

Never mind, they haven't let details like facts trouble their minds before, so this probably won't matter to them either.

13 VS.347

Here's a good blog post from GOP Vixen noting 13 terr attacks during the Iraq constitution vote, combpared to 347 attacks during the first election over there. So what's not progress about THIS?

Petition for the Withdrawal of the Nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court

David Frum at National Review Online has a petition up calling for the withdrawel of Harriet Miers' nomination for SCOTUS:

WE ARE REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES who supported the election of George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. Today, we respectfully urge that the nomination of Harriet Miers to the United States Supreme Court be withdrawn.

The next justice of the Supreme Court should be a person of clear, consistent, and unashamed conservative judicial philosophy.

The next justice should be a person of unquestioned personal and political independence.

The next justice should be someone who has demonstrated a deep engagement in the constitutional issues that regularly come before the Supreme Court ? and an appreciation of the originalist perspective on those issues.

The next justice should be a person of the highest standard of intellectual and legal excellence.

For all Harriet Miers? many fine qualities and genuine achievements, we the undersigned believe that she is not that person. An attempt to push her nomination through the Senate will only split the Republican party, damage the Bush presidency, and cast doubts upon the Court itself.

Sometimes Americans elect Republican presidents, sometimes we elect Democratic presidents. Whatever the differences between the parties, surely we can at least agree on this: Each party owes America its best. There is a wide range of truly outstanding legal talents who share the president?s judicial philosophy. We believe that on second thought President Bush can do better ? for conservatism, for the Supreme Court, for America.

If you are also underwhelmed by this appointment, go take a look at it and sign in to make your feelings known. It couldn't hurt to at least reinforce the message to the Pres. and his staffers.

Slippery Teflon Charges Won't Stick

Well, here's yet another moonbat activist ambulance chasing lawyer outfit out for raiding deep pockets with no scientific basis for their claims of "damages".

The radical Environmental Working Group has charged that the billions of meals worldwide prepared every day on Teflon cookware are being contaminated with "Teflon toxins," and two Florida-based law firms have filed a $5 billion class-action suit in eight states against the manufacturer, DuPont, for "failing" to warn consumers about the product's alleged dangers.

One can only hope that somehow reason prevails here for a change.

DEVELOPING: HIDDEN TESTIMONY REIGNITES MIERS FIRES
More information on Miers - and it's not anything that is reassuring at all.

There's a lot of information on the SCOTUS confirmation on this site - it's definitely worth checking out.

H/T for this one to Laura Ingraham's site - which also has even more on the nomination.

Meanwhile, Ann Coulter also continues to be unimpressed with the Miers appointment in this post, and others.

There's a lot of other stuff out there on the problems with the nomination, ranging from Rush, to National Review Online, to Savage.

Enough already! The Chief has learned enough - what's needed at this point is a better appointment to the court. The short and long of it is that while Ms. Miers is an exemplary person in many ways - NOT for the SCOTUS. Best would be a new nomination, before Ms Miers and the President further embarrass themselves any further by pursuing this one.

My new favorite television show is HBO's Rome. Really, I'm just a fan of all things Rome and this series is no exception. This thing was budgeted at something like $75 million plus, has been in various stages of production...
