Female Supreme Court Nominee

[philip]

I am concerned that this nominee (Harriet Miers) will
not fully support women's issue .. particularly in
terms of abortion and any other issues that may come
up over the next 20 or so years. I found this link in
Yahoo:
http://www.townhall.com/blogs/c-log/J Garthwaite/story/2005/10/03/159236.html

Can anyone offer any additional information?

Thx!!!

Philip :?

GTD is the answer.

The additional information is that GTD helps us to focus on stuff that is really important.

Does it answer your question?

Tes Teq said it best. But I will add that it isn't the responsibility of a supreme court justice to advocate for any single group, whether it be women, men, racial groups, ethnic identities, religious groups, political philosophies, or social agendas.

The successful outcome of any project (project = impartially decide xxx case) should be whether the decision can be supported by the constitution of the United States.

If only it were so easy. At various times, the Constitution has been found to support all sorts of things, many of them repugnant to early 21st century society. Different people have interpreted the same words differently.

Uhhh.... did the purpose of this forum change while I was getting my coffee this morning?

I agree completely - different people have interepreted the same words differently (and incorrectly at times). And it isn't easy or simple. But it certainly does not make things any easier or simpler when anyone with an agenda tries to set an expectation that an impartial judge should favor any group as a prerequisite for serving on the court.
