Every Supreme Court nomination poses a test of our common understanding of what the Constitution means -- and specifically our interpretation of the role assigned by that document to the U.S. Senate. This time, by sending up the name of a personal crony with few other qualifications -- and then suggesting that her fitness for the high court should be measured by her faith -- George W. Bush has publicly challenged the Senate to defend the Constitution and to fulfill the purpose assigned to them by the founders.Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Conason is right. But he might not have this forum for much longer. He had better start writing something interesting before Salon goes under:
For senators who claim to uphold the framers' intentions, the president has left no choice but to reject Harriet Miers. Both her nomination and the covert campaign to win her confirmation are constitutional offenses that should be intolerable to the Senate.
Salon has incurred annual losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2005 of $91,409. These factors raise substantial doubt about Salon's ability to continue as a going concern.
Salon's independent accountants for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 have included a paragraph in their reports indicating substantial doubt as to Salon's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring operating losses and negative cash flows.
Salon's subscribers apparently don't find the crappy writing worth paying for any more:
Salon Premium revenue assumes that Salon will not continue to experience an accelerated decline in Salon premium memberships that it has recently experienced.
