TANGENT SUNSET

COMMON CREEPS by Alex Cosper

How do you feel about Bush nominating a lady with no judicial experience to the Supreme Court? (10/3/05)

respondent quote
RECEPTIONIST: I don't know anything about it, but I would have picked Judge Judy or someone else who everyone has at least seen on TV.
UNKNOWN SKEPTIC: Sounds like typical Bush - just picking his friends from Texas. I have never heard of Harriet Miers so I can't comment on it - other than it's not like Bush to pick the most qualified person for the job.
COOL LEE: The decision has been made so we should just accept it and move on. I hate politics, which is why I don't concern myself with it. I trust Bush because he's the President and I trust my President because I love my country.
JENNIFER: She'll probably get confirmed by Thanksgiving no problem, just because the Democrats have been caving in to the Republican agenda since the Supreme Court elected Bush as President five years ago.
SKULL MADISON: The lady was President of the Texas Bar Association, so she's obviously more than qualified. I really don't give a hoot about the abortion issue. I'm more concerned that we continue to carry out the Patriot Act so that fascism will prevail.
WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVIST: Even though I generally support women being appointed to the Supreme Court, I oppose women who oppose women's rights if that makes any sense. I don't know what her stand is on the issues, but something tells me that she'll make Sandra Day O'Connor look like a flaming liberal.
GORE SUPPORTER: Had Al Gore been allowed to serve the term that he was elected to in 2000, chances are he would have been re-elected in 2004 and we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now. Bush just wants to stack the Supreme Court with right-wingers who pose as moderates. Even though Gore himself was a right-winger who posed as a moderate all along, we still would have been better off.
