There were plenty of good solild well-known conservatives such as JRB, Edith Miller, Alito, etc. who were more qualified and who he could have picked, but instead he picks a personal friend.

Maybe if he tried nominating a strong conservative with a paper trail, the Democrats and RINOs would have eventually blocked the nominee. But Bush owes his election to conservatives, and he owes it us to at least try. But I guess he'd rather go with his good friend and his former personal lawyer instead. I consider this a betrayal.

You may well be correct. But at this point it is too early to tell.

I don't know if Miers will be the appointee or not and unlike most on this thread, I don't know enough about her yet to jump to any conclusions, but I will remind everyone here that the same outfits that reported that Edith Clement was the President's last pick to the SC is now reporting the same about Miers.

Let's wait and see.

Personally, I am hoping that Miers is just the bait. The Dems eased off on Roberts because they knew that this appointment will be the real battle. If the Dems grind Miers down to nothing, JBR might get the nomination and perhaps get confirmed as the switch.

I think this is going to be one ugly fight and it will be extremely important to keep track of who says what, and who stands up...*jaundiced eyes glaring at the RINOs*

Fox's Juan Williams says that "she's a good pick."
