Surely you know that just because Miers isn't "known" as a legal conservative heavyweight, doesn't prove that she will not be one. Geeze! Why are you jumping to unfair conclusions?

Lots of Supreme Court justices have had what appeared to be a conservative track record who, once on the court, have been deeply disappointing. Using your logic, I could make irrational assumptions about judges you wanted Bush to nominate and conclude that they just appear to be conservative but will turn out to be liberal based on Souter & O'Connor.

No one can predict with certainty the kind of justice Miers will be, but she is our President's choice. I know him to be a man of faith and he has known Harriet Miers for many years and knows her well. He knows her much better than any of the other potential nominees and for that, we should probably be grateful. In the end, every pick comes down to trust and with so much at stake, I'd like to think Bush is confident in her philosophy, ability and loyalty.

Trust, my friend.

Of course it doesn't prove anything. But why not go for the sure thing?
