I don't have a problem with Miers per se, it's just that we really don't know anything about her.

I guess we'll find out in the next few weeks as the process winds towards hearing and see who comes out against and in favor of her nomination. I saw Dr. Dobson on tv this afternoon beginning his support of her. Others will line on either side of the nomination.

The thing that I take heart in is that President Bush has known this lady for some 10+ years in some very close working relationships. He apparently likes her style and trust her to do the correct thing. Not much more you can asked of any individual.

I am aware that Bush has known her for a long time, and I trust that when he interviewed her, he focused on her Constitutional philosophy. However, a lot of judges have been known by the presidents who appointed them, but once installed they have developed a "new" philosophy. A lifetime appointment can give judges the latitude to develop new attitudes or become intoxicated with their power. We need to remember that many of the justices who have torn this country apart were appointed by Republicans.
