Mr. Bush has said Ms. Miers is bright, and a solid conservative. We should judge for ourselves in the hearings. But until then, conservatives owe him and her the benefit of the doubt.

Why in hell do we owe Bush or any Republican President that? There as not a more principled or trustworthy President than Ronald Reagan and his two stealth candidates both ended up being liberal activists>

Conservatives owe to their principles to demand Miers withdraw and known originalist be nominated in her place.

Absolutely nothing is going to change in this nation until Republicans understand that they must appoint known originalists to the courts and do so.

his two stealth candidates

How were O'Connor and Kennedy "stealth" candidates? They both had a judicial record; they both were conservative. Souter was definitely a stealth candidate (even, unfortunately, to GHWB), and Roberts was as close to one as GWB could get.

Or until Republicans understand that you don't actually have a majority in the Senate if you elect RINOs.
