The President clearly has some work to do here...

[traderrob6]

Operation rescue have not been doing their homework.

[Peach]

Clearly Operation Rescue is not understanding that the one thing we can be quite sure about is that Miers is pro life.

My neighbor dropped his ABA membership when they took a pro choice position and he's well acquainted with Miers work on behalf of the pro life movement.

Someone should tell Operation Rescue to get their facts straight.

[BigSkyFreeper]

"President Bush promised that he would appoint strong constitutional constructionist to the Supreme Court in the mold of Thomas and Scalia, but Miers is no Thomas or Scalia," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman.

Given that you know "little or nothing about her", I wonder how you can reach that conclusion Troy?

[plain talk]

Extremely weak rationale stated for not supporting her. Seems they would stay neutral until learning something about her.

[RWR8189]

What did they say about Roberts?

Because I feel confident on Miers being pretty conservative socially, I just hope she will take a literal interpretation of the Constitution on the Court in the same way she does the Bible in her home.

[zzen01]

Operation Rescue aginst, ACLJ for, it's a wash!

[flixxx]

Operation Rescue is not supporting the nomination!?!?! Oh no, Bush must retract Miers the nomination now...(sarcasm in full force)

Neither will People for the American Way, Barbra Streisand or Schumer...so both sides are unhappy.

[LS]

Most people I know, if Operation Rescue is for someone, they would never support that person. This organization, rightly or wrongly, is viewed as a kook fringe group, esp. Randall Terry (who may or may not still be associated with them).

[popdonnelly]

I don't see the logic of this. The indication is that Miers is anti-abortion.

[Earthdweller]

Wow. This is getting ugly.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Their position would be like the NAACP being in favor of the KKK. It's as if the world is tipped on its side.

[Raycpa]

My hunch is that they lost contributors and support when they supported Roberts and want to avoid that again. Can't imagine how rabid their folks especially after watching the folks here

While many pro-life groups were frustrated with the lack of information about the abortion stand of Bush's first Supreme Court nominee, John Roberts

[TheHound]

He has done his work, for good or bad. This selection is "fait accompli". He has made his mark - he made a promise - we voted for him. We will either love him like Reagan or spurn him like Nixon. It was his call and he has to live by the consequences.

[Clintonfatigued]

Operation Rescue was founded by Randall Terry, who may still be active with the organization. And anyone familiar with him knows that Terry has credibility problems of his own.

[Obadiah]

Operation Rescue is TOTALLY wrong and off base!

Miers needs to be supported.

[ZULU]

Yes, like rethinking his choice.

[tflabo]

Just a hunch here...if Miers gets nominated for SC and turns out to be ultra-conservative in her judicial decisions, then maybe the conservatives in the USA will see the benefit of having born-again christian evangelicals on the court. Hang on...the ride is going to get bumpier.

[Hound of the Baskervilles]

Oh well this will just encourage the Dems to vote for her. Which is good. I think appointing her is a brilliant move by Bush. I trust him on this. Although I have a lot of respect for George Will...on this one I think he's wrong. She's gonna work out just fine.

[Perdogg]

I think people need to quit their bitching and trust the President. I do. That's why I voted for him and that's why the Dummycrats are not going to use me to divide the party.

[sinkspur]

Flip Benham's crowd, the ones who stand outside Dallas elementary schools and shove pictures of aborted fetuses into the faces of second graders, doesn't find Meirs acceptable.

No surprise there.
