The most encouraging thing I've seen today was information that Miers was basically in charge of the process that gave us judges like Luttig and Brown in the appellate courts.

I have a question for the people who are already up in arms over this pick.

Are you really disappointed because Bush didn't nominate someone who you KNOW will get the Dems to set off a filibuster?

It seems like some Republicans have been itching for a reprisal of that showdown ever since a vacancy opened up on the Court.

Personally, I'll trust Bush on his picks. I was pretty happy with Roberts, so I have no reason to be unhappy with Meirs hat this time.

I haven't heard much about her other than conflicting information on her stance regarding abortion, and that isn't a really big issue for me anyways.

Ms. Miers has had a hand at picking most of Bush's nominations in the judiciary. She was responsible for Janice Rodgers Brown, Miguel Estrada, Pricilla Owen and John Roberts being on the bench.

If she was so pro-choice, wouldn't she have pushed through at least one pro-choice candidate? Wouldn't she have sabotaged any pro-life candidate instead of getting them on the bench?

[Brilliant]

A very good point. I'm going to trust Bush. We don't have much choice anyway at this point. If you didn't trust Bush, the only thing you could have done about it was to vote against him.
