Sorry, but some of W's choices of friends don't inspire me. Bill Clinton, Ken Lay, Saudi princes, etc. And just saying she's a Christian and goes to church doesn't move me either - see Bill Clinton.
You know little about Miers, so you're skeptical. Bush knows MORE about her than you ever will.
Why would he pick solid conservative judges for the first five years of his Presidency, and then suddenly pick a Souter? It makes no sense.
The President knows she's no Souter. You don't. Thus the panic sweeping this forum.
