Oh yes he did..... here's is quote from his diary: The pressures on a Supreme Court justice to shift leftward are intense. There is the negative pressure of the vicious, hostile press that legal conservatives must endure. And there are the sweet little inducements--the flattery, the invitations to conferences in Austria and Italy, the lectureships at Yale and Harvard--that come to judges who soften and crumble. Harriet Miers is a taut, nervous, anxious personality. It is hard for me to imagine that she can endure the anger and abuse--or resist the blandishments--that transformed, say, Anthony Kennedy into the judge he is today
I beg to differ, no one gets to the top of the most pretigious law firm in his or her state, not mention being the first female to do so, without being a savvy pitbull. Oh, and she headed up as the first female, the Texas Bar Assc. as well.
Our President will not betray his nation, bill clinton...sure..he would betray us for a an extra piece of silver or a fast one nighter, but President Bush has demonstrated time and again his ability to surround himself and our nation with people of immensely good character.
He will not betray us, he would NEVER betray the future of our nation into the hands of a paritisan, liberal judge and he has probably made one perfect choice.
I trust him.
And he has EARNED this trust over and over and over a thousand times in my book.
