Oldman at BOPnews has some incisive thoughts regarding the religious right's reaction to the Harriet Miers SCOTUS nomination.'
Here's an excerpt:
It's the reaction on the right rejecting Miers that is revealing, but not for the reasons typically discussed. The reason why it is revealing is that it shows that the hard right is refusing to settle for mere consolidation of current and near term gains. Their principle objection is that Meiers is not absolutely and nakedly guarenteed to overturn Roe vs. Wade and carry out a pogrom of cleansing left-wing judicial interpretations from the law of the land.
In short the movement conservative "revolution" is still on at least in their heads, and they don't care that the country is having second thoughts and moving away from a hard right ideological sweep. If they want to have it all whether or not there is a popular mandate for them, then that spells trouble, big trouble.
Enjoy...
