Although it is conceivable that President Bush has had his fill of advice from overreaching pundits, that is not why he chose Harriet Miers. Maybe he didn't want somebody who had been planning for 20 years for a place on the Supreme Court. Maybe he has looked around every so often and noticed that the least assuming person in the room was also the most capable and discerning. Or maybe he remembered how the hardest-working person in the White House found time to prepare the will of a terminally ill 27-year-old colleague, and to spend nights and mornings staying with her and praying with her.

Does this sound like a Proverbs 31 lady, or someone who will change once she has been on the court 3 or 4 years? This lady is no Souter.

"Although it is conceivable that President Bush has had his fill of advice ..."

Well stated.

My office cleaning lady is also hard working and compassionate. Thank God she doesn't work at the White House or she'd be a Supreme Court nominee.

"This lady is no Souter."

My sentiments exactly. Everyone is saying: "We don't know that much about her." So what? Look how much we knew about Souter and O'Connor and what disasters they turned out to be.

I truly believe this lady is a person of integrity, loyal to her values and principles. That's a prized commodity in Washington, D.C.; the nation's bastion of political whores who are accustomed to selling out to the highest bidder. I guess the Bill Kristols of the world would have been happy had The Prez tapped Tom Delay for the SCOTUS.

Give me a break!!!!!

You make a good point. I wish that the conservative nay-sayers would at least wait until confirmation hearings before jumping to judgement.
