He may have to fight yet. We Miers doubters are being reassured not to worry, because she is a conservative, a born-again Christian, and pro-life.
If that is truly the case, then does anyone really believe the Dems and RINOs will allow a conservative, pro-life, born-again Christian to sit on the SCOTUS without one hell of a fight?
Which is exactly what makes this nomination seem so weak. The Democrats are going to fight ANYONE Bush nominates, if only to grandstand, so why not take it all ten rounds? If the first conservative nominee goes down, so what? Nominate another, and another, and another, and another until the Democrats look like screaming meemies, unwilling to compromise. Eventually they'll have to suck it up and put a real conservative on the bench.
