There a big difference between actual combat and political wranging. I'm a political historian so please don't be coy. When lives are at stake and a nation is on the line, you do what you have to, even if it's not the safe choice. This is so different it's silly to even make the comparrison. Miers can easily accomplish the same thing that a Luddig type can accomplish on the SC, without the fight. And given how the Republican majority in the Senate has acted for five years with a total lack of resolve for conservative committment, I have no faith that a Luddig type would get through the Senate. The main goal is to get a conservative strict constructionist on the court, and I base my opinions on FACTS, NOT supposition. NOT coulda shoulda woulda. Bush 41 didn't even know Souter. Reagan didn't know O'conner or Kennedy. W. Bush knows Miers and has known her for over a decade, and she picked all the conservative Judges that Bush has put up the past five year, and have you noticed how not ONE OF THEM has turned out to be anything less than a strong constructionist conservative Judge? I'm sorry but even though I am scared of being burned with another suiter or o'conner, I just don't have that feeling this time. I believe that Miers will be a good conservative Justice that will prove that in time with her findings like Thomas and Scalia. That is all that matters. And I base that on what I know and people that know her personally. Not what MIGHT happen and people who never even sat in the same room with the woman. I prefer to base my opinions on something a little more substantial than supposition from people out of the loop.

OK, I need to understand this better. I would like either nephi, or one of the other anti-Miers posters on here to summarize for me the content of the conversations W. had with the Gang of 14 and other Senators that led him to believe he would better served nominating Miers instead of a "known" conservative, and why he's wrong.

Otherwise, I'll assume they have no friggin clue.

I disagree with the differences between this fight and actual combat. Who will be reviewing the rights of Jihadi detainees? How about the hundreds of thousands killed via "convenience" abortions? The right of the government to seize my property? Freedom of speech in the political process?

These are the questions that shape the future of our republic. Face our demise is more like to be accomplished from internal forces than that of an external military.
