She's voted Republican like Scalia an Thomas. She's lived her personal life much like Scalia and Thomas. Kept in the same kinds of circles like Scalia and Thomas. And she's brought to the table a couple hundred Judges for Bush to nominate the past five years, who are all in the same mold as Scalia and Thomas, if not at the very least judicially conservative. There are apparently many more similarities between Miers and Scalia and Thomas than there are differences. Beyond the fact that he was a man, Renquist was quite similar to Miers when he was nominated by Reagan. He wasn't a judge either, and most of what showed him to be a conservative was from his career as a lawyer and personal references from people who stood up and sang his praises as a conservative, which has happened in Miers case. Sure I still wish Bush would have picked Owens or Jones or Luddig for the spot. There's lots of things I've wished for, but wishing for something doesn't make it so. The choice has been made, and I still believe all that's left is to pray and hope that Bush's judgement on her is as right as the 300+ other great conservative judges that he's put in the courts the past five years. Behaving that was i this situation is certainly better for the most important thing, which is contining to advance the conservative social and ideological agenda, and grow the Republican majority in the Housee and the Senate. That IS the most important thing here, and this divisive conservative divide is counter productive to that end, and serves only to embolden the liberal democrats on the other side. And that's not Bush's fault, it's the fault of the people allowing this nomination to become more important than the continued conservative majority.

For it to be ez's turn to answer, wouldn't you have actually had to respond to him when he asked you to prove that Miers was not in the mold of Scalia and Thomas? You never did list any facts that prove she doesn't share the same legal or ideological philosophy that Thomas and Scalia do.

Your turn.

Then find the error in this proof.

Bush said he would nominate judges in the mold of Scalia and Thomas. Bush knows Miers. Bush nominated Miers. Therefore, Miers is in the mold of Scalia and Thomas.
