Coulter Gleefully Prepares For Battle With Democrats

Ann Coulter seems to be everywhere in recent days patting herself on the back for bringing down Harriet Miers. Although delighted about Sam Alito, she seemed more ecstatic about the chance to fight Democrats over the confirmation telling Hannity,
"Thanks to Mamma Alito, we're going to have the battle we've been waiting for."

Fair Or Balanced - How About None Of The Above?

Today on Studio B with Shepard Smith they decided to have one guest on to talk about the new nominee for the Supreme Court, Samuel Alito. That guest would be Leslie Feldman, Professor of Political Science at Hofstra University, who has written about Ronald Reagan and wrote the book Honor and Loyalty: Inside the Politics of the Bush White House (Greenwood Press, 2002).

It became very clear during the segment that she was very much from the radical right but I was wondering, where was the fair and balanced guest from the left?

Special Report edits out Dobson concerns

I posted yesterday that James Dobson was shown on Special Report last night to have said 'When you know some of the things that I know, that I probably shouldn't know, you will understand why I believe Harriet Miers will be a good Justice.'"

It's liberals and true conservatives who should be worried about Miers on the Supreme Court

Jim Angle reported today 10/10/05 on Special Report about the continuing angst and unease within the farther right wing of the Republican party. As Brit Hume noted (later in the program), Bill Kristol AND Pat Buchanan are expressing doubts and negativity towards the nominee.

Kristol, appearing on Fox News Sunday, said that he thought that Harriet Miers should withdraw as she is not nearly the most qualified person for the job, which he believes would be good for Bush and good for the court. Pat Buchanan said his guess is that the nomination will be withdrawn and she will not be confirmed. These two speak for a lot of people, and while Bush has no election to worry about (like he ever did), Republican Senators running in 2006 should be concerned about the voters that these two men can influence.

Wondering If Harriet Miers Is Anti Choice? Just Ask Shepard Smith

Shepard Smith was speaking with correspondant Juan Williams today about the president's nomination for the Supreme Court, Harriet Miers. They were discussing how both the left and the right were criticizing the president's choice.

Smith got right to the point. He told Williams, 'She's an evangelical. Pro life and Evangelical Christians go together."
