Just what America needs, another Harvard genius like the ones who have been running what's left of this country for the past 30 years.

Whatever.

I didn't think I would see another nominee as week as Harriet Miers, but sure enough here we go. Of course if you want to send up a radical socialist you would tend to go with a person with little record to go on. Most likely another trojan horse like Obama.

Senator Inofe is opposing her. That is no surprise but I think he makes some good points. Here is a piece of what he had to say about her:

“While her service as the Dean of Harvard Law School is an impressive credential, decisions she made in that role demonstrated poor judgment. While there, she banned the U.S. military from recruiting on campus, an issue very important to me. She took the issue even further when she joined with other law school officials in a lawsuit to overturn the Solomon amendment, which was adopted by Congress to ensure that schools could not deny military recruiters access to college campuses. Claiming the Solomon Amendment was ‘immoral,’ she filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in Rumsfeld v. F.A.I.R opposing the Amendment. The Court unanimously ruled against her position and affirmed that the Solomon Amendment was constitutional."

That is from Senator Inofe's website.

I have a ton of respect for her doing that.. and I love the military.

DADT is embarassingly immoral.

I don't care what she looks like. I don't care what her sexual practices are. She's a liberal replacing a liberal. Did anyone expect anything different?!~

of course no one expects anything different. not regarding the pick, or the reaction to the pick.

It was nor her job to impose her views on everyone else. If she thinks that DADT is immoral, that is fine. She is entitled to her opinion. But it was not her place to try to keep the military off campus because of her disapproval of DADT.

Talk about immoral. It was immoral for her to try to restrict access to campus to a group that is entitled by law to have access to the campus.

I wonder how many Harvard students enlist per year? Seems to me she probably, inadvertently saved the military the time and cost of travel. Almost Nobel Prize worthy!

Actually, if you read into it a little.. you will find out that Harvard has an anti-discrimination policy, which she felt, and over 30 other colleges also felt the exact same way, that DADT violated her school's policy. (she is correct there)

AND, she didnt ban them from campus.. She banned them for having an office building on campus.

She had every right to stand up for her school's policy and for what is right. If people never stood up for what is right, nothing good would ever happen.
