A retreat into smallness

by David Benzion · 10/07/2005 11:49 am

Dr. Krauthammer weighs in on the Miers nomination, concluding that …

By choosing a nominee suggested by Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and well known only to himself, the president has ducked a fight on the most important domestic question dividing liberals from conservatives: the principles by which one should read and interpret the Constitution. For a presidency marked by a courageous willingness to think and do big things, this nomination is a sorry retreat into smallness.

Additional worthy insights provided along the way.

I hate to say it but looking back on:
1.Iraq 2000+ Young American lives lost for what?
2.Osama still drinking margaritas and laughing after 5 years
3. $3.00 a gallon gas
4.Supreme court failures
5.Spending orgys

and so on, GWB has squandered his Presidency.

LST will probably sensor this, but Dubya and his cabal want to have the Constitution forgotten as soon & much as possible.
We don’t need no stinkin’ thinkin’ judges.
Harriet the spy will do fine.
If you were getting a lifetime protected job, wouldn’t you insist the guy giving you that job was the smartest man in the world? At least you’d say that to his face.

No wait, I have a better grip now, poli.

Harriet’s t-shirt that won’t get her thrown off the Bush plane says:
I still suck less than Ronnie Earle.

Hey, I voted for the fellow (always voted Republican - up to now)but so far his “courageous willingness to think and do big things” has, except for the tax cut (which is, unfortunately, only temporary) pretty much led him to do big things I didn’t want him to do in the first place.

Miers’ nomination is, however, not a “retreat into smallness”, its another big mistake.
