Miers has stated she believes abortion is murder.
That might make her a good pick for legislator, but I don't want a judge to overturn Roe, just based on her own policy preferences, that legitimizes the original Roe decision.
I want a judge that is going to read the constitution as written and apply the original intent of the founders regardless of her personal polciy preferences.
And abortion isn't the only issue out there. What about the takings clause, what about campaign finance restrictions. If you pick a judge because she will vote the way you want just because she agrees with a particular policy, it will come back to haunt you.
Look at the lefties, they loved the court abusing the commerce clause to expand it's power as long as they were advancing liberal clauses, but when the same thing was done to strike down medical marijuana laws, the hippies were howling about judicial activisim.
Bottom line, with many many candidates that have openly over many years echoed the Scalia, Bork judical philosophy, why to we have to gamble on another Souter?
Trust me the President says. I say, "Just like I trusted you on immigration and government spending."
