BINGO! Which is why Bush wouldn't violate the Posse Comitatus Act. Plus it is likely that Conservatives WOULD actually prosecute him for such a violation of States rights and impeach.
So the list of things after the statement "People ask why I picked Harriet Miers" isn't a list of qualifications? The fact that she is one of the 50 best female lawyers in the nation isn't a qualification? His statement that she is qualified, has NOTHING to do with her qualifications? UNBELIEVEABLE.
He also states, "They want to know her and everything about her" in the same sentence. Therefore the list that followed covered some about her personally and some of her qualifications. Clearly you can comprehend that people can converse and answer two questions at once.
My position is that things stated after "people want to know her, people want to know everything about her" they may state things that are different from the list of things after "they want to know why I picked her" and after "they want to know her qualifications" all of those quoted statements are in the same line where he was talking about her. He was answering more than one question at a time.So the things that someone says after the statement "People ask why I picked so and so" quite logically have NOTHING to do with the reasons why that person was picked? Is that your position?
Amazingly language is complex enough to handle mutliple ideas on the same subject at the same time. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or even a PhD in English to inform you that words that talk of her life are not talking of her qualifications, but of her personally and that her personal life was part of the multiple ideas he was getting across about the subject, the nominee.
Shoot I don't even like the nominee. I cannot believe that there wasn't another Roberts out there to find. Someone clearly qualified.
