Everyone on the right, on both sides of the Miers debate, should be willing to admit the truth about this nomination. It's a split that was caused by George Bush selecting a fourth rate candidate for the most important court in the land and then saying, "Trust me.""On Harriet Miers And Elitism." John Hawkins, Right Wing News, 10/12/05 (emphasis added).
. . . Those of us who want the Miers nomination to fail are just not willing to support a Supreme Court appointment based on little more than blind trust, especially since in the past, well meaning Republican Presidents have told us to, "trust them," as they've given us John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy, and David Souter among others.
That is the essence of what this conservative dogfight is all about, not "elitism."

You'll get no argument from me, Reverend.
It's amazing that our position has until the explosion of the Blogosphere been virtually invisible to radar. The formerly main stream media reliably provided no substantial or sustained discussion of these themes.
The educational system from the bottom, I am sure, to the top has enshrined a reverence for the New Deal and the Civil Rights movement disconnected from any other consideration relevant to our living as free people. In my entire time at my very good undergraduate school, Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, during the sixties, I remember only one professor ever expressing an overtly conservative idea, namely, that private property is the foundation of liberty.
The tectonic shift that the New Deal Supreme Court's decisions represented was dismissed, at the law school of the same school, with the oft-repeated (though no less clever for it) joke, "A switch in time saves nine," refering to the turnabout the court made around the time of FDR's court-packing project.
One other professor who had first-hand knowledge of the communists in China was a strong advocate of resistance to communism.
That was it, Brother, the sum and substance of what a major educational institution had, in my experience, to say about the historical experiment in self government here and the death struggle overseas with tyrannies far worse than the one's overthrown in WWII, although it must be noted that the Japanese military positively excelled in their studied and ferocious bestiality.
