I have been following the Mier's thread on FR since her nomination. I have never observed a bigger group of sheeple that blindly believe in "trust me -- Miers will be conservative because ________. I have totally lost respect for many of the posters on this site for being so supportive of an extremely poor nomination by Bush.

Well!!! join the club, I have lost respect for all the "Hang Harriet" crowd before they know anything about her as well. How well do you know the nominee? Do you know for sure that Miers will be another Souter or will she be another Scalia?

I know the story about how there was so many highly qualified Conservatives he could have picked from Bill Kristol's list, but I want to know why she isn't qualified?, and why she is such a poor choice?

I see the same dozen or so people trashing this woman and for two weeks now nobody will answer what disqualifies her as a SCOTUS nominee.

When Bush nominated her, I never remember him saying "Trust Me", yet I see this term used by the "Hang Harriet" crowd day after day.

My position is that the President has the right to nominate who he wants, and the Senate can say yes or no. And considering all the top notch judges President Bush has nominated and fought for since 2001, he has earned my patience with this nominee. Keep in mind that Janice Rogers Brown, Luttig, Owen, Pryor and Estrada were all Bush nominees, 230 + Top notch conservative nominees since 2001 and yet so many are ready to jump ship because they know little about Harriet Miers....

And you say you've lost respect???
