For those saying that she's not married, therefore she's a lesbian or other such nonsense.

Miers has been a member of Valley View Christian Church in Dallas for 25 years, where Hecht has been an elder. He calls it a "conservative evangelical church... in the vernacular, fundamentalist, but the media have used that word to tar us." He says she was on the missions committee for ten years, taught children in Sunday School, made coffee, brought donuts: "Nothing she's asked to do in church is beneath her." On abortion, choosing his words carefully for an on-the-record statement, he says "her personal views are consistent with that of evangelical Christians... You can tell a lot about her from her decade of service in a conservative church."

Let me make it clear. I don't like the fact that she contributed to Al Gore's campaign at all. But it was almost 20 years ago now. If the article cited above is true, then perhaps she is a changed woman.

I am disappointed. But not in her per se. I'm disappointed because yet again, Bush selected someone who does NOT have a clear record of conservatism. This is a golden opportunity, not only because it's the Supreme Court we're talking about here, but because the Dems simply could NOT stop ANYONE Bush nominated. They could hem and haw, but in the end they would loose, they will loose. But for some reason, apparently, Bush didn't want to fight that very worthy fight, and it WOULD have been a worthy fight, because it would have shown the entire country exactly how obstructionist and radical the left really is, and energized his base for the '06 elections!

Now we're all left with a feeling of just being a SPECTATOR in our own government, instead of a participant!

On top of all that, to truly, TRULY find out how good Robers and Miers are, we have nothing but to wait for their first vote. And by then, it's a bit too late to change the mind, isn't it?
