Thanks for the info on Valley View Christian Church. The more I learn about Miers, the more I like her.

Some of the Freepers squawking about the pick would not support anyone without a track record they like. That track record would also mean the person could not be confirmed.

Personally, I would rather have a nominee that President Bush knows and trusts, and might have a chance to be confirmed, than someone everyone knows has no chance whatsoever of being confirmed.

Some of the opposition on this board, of course, is from liberals in disguise. FR is high profile enough that some of our posters are really from the other side, here to sow doubt and confusion. The easily spotted trolls get zotted, but the clever ones can spread their poison for quite a while.

I agree; this record of her membership and work with Valley View Christian is very encouraging. Mr. Hecht's remarks indicate an originalist, who will in general be a non-activist, strict-constructionalist, and will in particular be prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Thanks for posting this information; it goes a long way to defuse my original dimay.
