"Nominees are clearly prohibited from making such a commitment and presidents are prohibited from asking for it.."

Funny, my copy of the Constitution doesn't appear to say any such thing. I gotta get a more modern version, I guess.

That would be a great response for Sweaty Teddy and his fellow senators as well. I am not up on what is allowed in those hearings, what is allowed to be asked etc, but who else would pay to see that response?

isn't this the same kind of spurious tea leaf reading that led to Souter being nominated

Not very good hints, if you ask me. The second one may be the most compelling since she wasn't representing the President at that time, but even that one's pretty shallow when you consider that the ABA membership is very pro-abortion. She wanted six of one instead of a half dozen.

Thank you for providing actual information for debate.

It's a thin reed.

Does anyone have info as to whether she attends the cocktail party circuit in DC?

Excellent research! Thanks!

Please do try to spell the nominee's name correctly, OK. I'm sure it was spelled correctly in the stories you paraphrased.

For what it's worth, this was in the Times of London on friday regarding potential SC choices.

If he wants an all-out fight, Mr Bush could name Edith Jones, Michael McConnell or Priscilla Owen, all pro-life judges. Another name in the mix is Harriet Miers, Mr Bush’s White House counsel. She has never been a judge but is also firmly anti-abortion.

I have no idea what this is based on and I still don't like the pick.

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.
