More Goal Post Moving
After being rebuffed by many emails it seems that JPod is moving the goal posts:
The Corner on National Review Online: "[Lawyers in Love]...with their own arguments continue to insist that they really do a lot of hard work outside the courtroom. I get it. What I was trying to say, from this morning onward, was this: Those who acknowledge Miers' weakness in the field of experience with constitutional law have been arguing that her deep experience as a corporate lawyer gives her a voice worth hearing on the Court. Having then said that 16 court cases in 27 years of practice really didn't sound like a lot to me, I was informed--repeatedly-- that, yes, it was, or it could be, or it ought to be. Fine. So she's a corporate lawyer with a pretty standard resume and pretty standard experience as a corporate lawyer. So at the risk of offending all corporate lawyers, let me say that experience as a standard-issue partner at a decent law firm does not make you a credible candidate for the United States Supreme Court."
John I'm sympathetic to many of your arguments. I've noted many of them here. But when one of your arguments falls down -- admit it like Rich and move on! K-Lo suffers from the same thing when she played the hypocrisy card (ala the Evangelical/Lottery argument) only to be thoroughly dismantled by Beldar who had ground-floor knowledge, and then never admit on The Corner that she was probably wrong.
Hey, it happens to the best of us. I stepped in it last night with this post. So again, let's keep the field at 100 yards and call a spade a spade... and I will stop mixing metaphors.
