And even Reid is backing away now....
I was sending hate mail to the RNC monday at noon... but after thinking about this a little, and listening to what is actually being said by the players, and not the commentators.... I think our president has nominated a more conservative person than I expected. More conservative than Roberts.
"I think our president has nominated a more conservative person than I expected. More conservative than Roberts."
On what grounds? All I'm hearing is "Trust me", "You're not really a conservative if you disagree with the President on Miers", "You're an elitist if you're against Miers", "You're a sexist if you're against Miers". Nowhere am I seeing real evidence of ideological courage and judicial qualification.
Don't make me laugh. Bush has nominated Miers for reasons that have nothing to do with her supposed Christian faith, her alleged opposition to abortion, or her purported conservatism---let alone her credentials.
