TECHNICAL QUESTION
I have to help figure out who the next nominee is... I know, sucks... so here's a question. Can you nominate John Roberts for Associate Justice, so he'd get two votes on the SCOTUS? He was a really good nominee last time.

Harriet, I don't think Roberts can become a double nominee, but since Bush has decided his nominees don't need to be judges or even lawyers, I think Karl Rove or Condi Rice would be good choices.
I mean, both of them suck even harder than you did. No offense!

does the person have to be a lawyer? because i know a really good person but hes' not a lawyer. he is smart though, he does't have to work because he uses his money to make money!!! yes he's in real estate! i think he'd be a good addition to our courts. so does it have to be a lawyer? we need all the help we can get making sure the left of our landscape isn't wasted on communist wolves or penguins or whatever.

I think u should nominate judy miller! She's totally gonna be looking for a job soon, and she's as devoted to the Prez and his buddies as u!

Well, you could suggest it, but this isn't Catch 22. :)
No, what you want to do is decide which circuit court you want to sit on, then nominate someone from that circuit. Then, when he or she gets the approval from the Senate, you get to take their seat!
Oh, wait; I have a great idea; have GWB nominate ... himself! Think about it; he knows more about the truth than anyone, since he talks to God. Then, Dicky boy can become President, and you can become VP! Then, when Dick is convicted, he'll have to resign and we'll have ... [drum roll] ...
PRESIDENT HARRIET MIERS!!
Take that, Geena Davis!
Oh, I like it. I'd rather play around in the Oval Orifice, I mean, Office than on the bench of the Supreme Court.

I think Michael McConnell is a perfect pick. For some reason, people were opposed to you because you'd never been a judge (what's up with that?) and you didn't have a long paper trail of conservative qualifications. He has neither of those problems and he would definitely sail through confirmation.

I think we should have Rummy on the court! His record is awesome!

Between you and me Harriet, please tell President Bush that I graciously decline his offer to be the next SCOTUS. :)

Harriet, hon
I'm not sure about this, but I think the only way you could nominate someone more than once is if they have a multiple personality disorder, like in that old Sally Fields movie. John Roberts didnt exactly get grilled during his hearings, so maybe no one thought to ask him whether he has any inner demons that would also like to serve on the court. I would find out the answer to this before you start suggesting him for what I will always think of as (sniff) YOU'RE seat on the Supreme Court.

Oh, Harry, Dear Harry...
Sigh.
I don't think Roberts can be both Chief and Associate Justice, sorry.
Plus, from what I heard, Laura would kick Dubya to the First Couch if he doesn't pick a woman.
So am I crazy or is it gonna be one of the Stygian Witches (a.k.a. Priscilla Owen, Janice Rogers Brown and Edith Jones)? They're not nice like you!! :-(

Harriet,
Glad to see that your still thinking outside the box and that you're creativity wasn't squelched by what you just went through.

Thats a great idea (and would save lots of money!), but the libruls would get there panties in a bunch. Why not just nominate Brownie. Hes a lawyer, needs a job, and as President Bush said, he did a heckuva job as head of fema (and as it's general council before that).
I have to say, I am VERY, VERY UPSET at you're nomination being shot down. Even worse are the things their saying about you. I say horse hockey -- your the greatest supreme court nominee EVER, deserving of great respect! Your so "cool"! Stay that way always.
Yours in Christ,

Roberts can't be but Harriet you did the right thing.
No of course one does not have to be a lawyer to be on the suprerme court you can ne a garbage man at least technically according to the rules.
I was thinking Sean Penn would be a nice addition.
At 2:24 PM,
ollie said…
Actually, Harriet, what you need to do is to think: "Clarence "uncle" Thomas"; after all, what he does is doubles Antion's vote, right?
BTW, don't even think about Edith Clement as she was very mean to you!

Harriet,
I think you should set up your own "shadow" supreme court. You can read the transcripts from the hearings and then issue your own rulings on the cases. Then, when Scalia's head explodes for whatever reason, you can be the next Assoc. Justice because you'll have tons of experience!
Love ya, babe.

I hope youll answer, and Im sure Im not the only one who wants to know!!

Here's an idear. Join Karl's defense team - he might be needing some great legal advice! Better than what he's got now - LOL. And while your at it, you could also become a pundit! Now how fun would that be?!?!

Toby said…
Harriet, that is so ridic that you have to help find another nominee - thats like getting a divorce and than helping your hubby find a new bride!!! WTF ("what the fudge")..
as far as nom'ing someone twice - YES you definitely can, but I don't think you can do roberst again. What about Rehnquist??

OMG Harriet, I think u should tell George to nominate a man this time because they wouldnt say all the bad things about a man that they said about you.
Keep you're chin up, kid!

Next time nominate a minister then the evangelicals MIGHT be happy.
A call to keyboards is in full swing. The evangelicals aren't comming, they're already here.
When the dog craps in the floor rub his nose in it to stop him. A call to keyboards is rubbing Bush's nose in a little archaeological discovery, THE BIBLE IS A PROVED HOAX. The web address of the site that has proof is being emailed to all the important people like say Pat Robertson and important places like say, Liberty U. And the clickers are clicking away. It's http://www.hoax-buster.org
Give it a click. Surprise!

Judge Not! said…
Well clearly it has to be somebody who really has a lot of experience, and know's whose qualified and whose not, so it seems like the best idear is Robert Bork. I know I know he said yesterday that you weren't qualified but you can turn "the other cheek" and this would definately be the best for the President.

I mean no-one has more experience at being a Supreme Court nominee than Robert Bork. Present company excluded of course!!

Harry,
Just nominate Patrick J. Fitgerald and when he turns down the nomination, keep re-nominating him on the grounds that he deserves and Up-or-Down vote on the floor of the Senate, regardless of what he wants.
He'll be so busy, that he'll hardly have time for... other, um... things.

Harry..., baby..., so sad!!
All that Republican talk of "guaranteed up or down vote"... you were PLAYED girlfran! How sad.
I can't believe the 'Right' opposed you - I mean... their GOD nominated you! I'm baffled... you must feel hurt.
I'm here for hugs if you need em darlin.
Keep supporting Dubya, that's the best thing you can do for the country.
At 3:57 PM,
Judge Not! said…
Another thing you have to think about is it obv has to be somebody whose never had an abortion, so you have to choose a man just to be safe. I mean look how much trouble it got you into even though WE all knew that you and the President were NEVER involved that way but obviously some people had doubts. And it has to be somebody whose really involved and concerned about Valerie Plame, so maybe Robert Novak??

Harriet, sweetie,
According to this website, your going to be a famous verb, just like "Bork."
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/27/D8DGI4NG8.html
Apparently, to "Miers" someone is be really mean to a good friend. Hang in there, hon, you'll be remembered long after Trent what's his name has been consigned to the dustbin of history.

harriet i think you ought to suggest this to president w. like condaleezer said up there this is just the sort of outside the box thinking that we need more of. i just went back and re-read the constitution and there is absolutely NOTHING in it that says you can't have one person filling two supreme court positions. and technically, roberts wouldn't be holding two of the same job, because he'd be a chief justice and an associate justice at the same time.
let's just see all those silly democratic senators try to complain about roberts after he's nominated again. you can tell them 'you thought he was qualified last time, what's the prob?'
this is the best suggestion ever, harriet! way to go!
At 4:22 PM,
The Law Fairy said…
Oh, maybe if Roberts doesn't pan out you can ask them to nominate Judge Posner! He already even has his own blog and everything, and the conservatives will like him because he's all free-market-y.
And he's TOTALLY good on the abortion thing too because he has the perfect solution for unwanted kids -- sell them!

It's time to nominate me. I have wonderful qualifications.

ollie said…
Actually, here is an idea:
nominate Hillary Clinton!
She has a law degree and those LIBURALS will love her, and her fellow senators will probably vote for her, and that would take her out of the 2008 presidential race.
Then we can come back with:
Harriet Miers for President in 2008!!!!!!!
You already have the Huffington Post on you're side!

listen, if your interested, you can be on George's good list if you bring him a big bottle of whiskey. so get at it boys! you want the job and he needs the booze....he can't run out to the pony key as the leader of the free wurld.
he likes the good brands we got in texas - old crow, forester.

OMG! I bet Jenna Bush has lots of judicious experience judging about her kids in her kindergaretn classroom - like who did their homework and whatnot and who is lying about forgetting to bring something for show and tell. She totally has to make judicial decisions all the time. Plus she is cool and has a great heart. Nominate her.

I nominate Jesus H Christ to the Supreme Court of the land! He is the Judge of Judges after all, and

Hi Harriet, Just wanted to say that I am sorry that you did not get a hearing in the Senate :>(
Maybe you could pick Sandra Day O'conner; I think she would make a GREAT Justice.
I read the write up on you in TOTT in the New Yorker, You do seem pretty cool. (by a 34 year old stay at home dad's standard)

Greta Van Sustern. TrueReally. Right over at huffington--they said it so it must be true.
Now thats just RUDE because everyone knows she's cute and young-looking and that's what it's all about, girlfriend. And that Coulter woman? What if she gets it? Grrr. I don't even think she's a lawyer. Can they do that?
blonde, thin, cute--botoxed if nec. that's what I predict. I buy a bottle of wine for you if I'm right. Pinot grigio.

Harriet: I know you must be disappointed but what if we start a campaign to get you nominated for Judge Roberts old job? Wasn't he a judge on the Court of Appeals or something like that? That way you could be a judge and then President Bush could nominate you again for the Supreme Court after he is re-elected and no one could say you didn't have experience!!! Please say yes to this idea. Your the greatest Harriet!!!!!!

enigma4ever said…
Harry- many condolences....but this is for the best...you will feel better in a day or two. We will miss the hearings though....so sad. I think we should think about some other options,
(1) Judge Judy
(2)Gary Coleman
(3)Dr.Phil
(4) Pat Robertson......

I have another idea: Joe Paterno, the Penn State football coach. He has a law degree, and nominating him would get him off of the sidelines....oh wait, PSU is having a good season this year....never mind...

Look, Harriet, I called for the Deocrats to send you back to your Ricoh printer in tears but I guess the GOP saw through the Dobson/Robertson smoke screen and saved them the trouble.
Look, I'm sure that you're a great gal and all but there haven't been too many cases where a thorny legal problem was solved by being able to make a great latte and converting a 7-10 split.
But if a membership in my local Moose Lodge pops up, be sure that I'll nominate you.

You should totally nominate yourself again! They can't reject you twice, because of double jeopardy! (You know, like that Ashley Judd movie.) They'd have to put you on the court, because it's in Constitution and everything!
You're the law expert, so you would know the technical details better than I would. But it's worth a shot!

Mel Martinez. Knowledge of the law and a minority for Bush to pride himself with. Being a senator, he would make for an easy confirmation in a republican controlled senate. To top everything off, Jeb Bush would be in position to name Martinez' successor.
Just an independent giving his 2ยข on the only way Bush can avoid massive trouble w/ his next nominee.
