He selected her, geeesshh...
In this photo released by the White House, Harriet Miers is shown in an official portrait. President Bush has chosen Miers, White House counsel and a loyal member of the president's inner circle, to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, a senior administration official said Monday, Oct. 3, 2005.

uh oh, just heard on kabc radio 790 that Harry Reid suggested to Bush to pick Miers.
The author certainly hasn't been here at FR. ;o)

This woman is, at best, a political hack, at worst, a Democrat operative.
This is terrible news.
Stabbed in the back, again.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had urged the president to consider Miers, according to several officials familiar with Bush's consultations with Congress.

Hmmm. Never good when poor Dingy Harry is not unhappy...
She looks.........cadaverous.
Well, a caller on NPR was very disturbed at the nomination. She didn't like the fact that the President said that Miers had a strong sense of right and wrong. Too much morality, she said. These people are nuts.
Tammy Bruce on FOX news just said that she's afraid that Bush has morphed into a "Jimmy Carter". Ouch!

W could nominate Noam Chomsky and the left would still find something to b*tch about.
What does he base this on?
If she's confirmed, then
will all good Republicans
get winning numbers?!
That is complete nonsense. The Federalist Society (which knows more of these matters than you) is supportive.
You can bet he has more substantial reasons than the Chronic Antis here who just pull their opinions outta their A$$es when it is not one of their favorites.
Supposedly, she was instrumental in choosing people for Bush to nominate to the various courts, including Owen, Brown, Roberts, etc. If this is the case, she's made good solid picks and may be a good solid pick herself. We'll see.
I'll only be convinced when I see her answers at the hearings, as I was with Roberts.
Nice comment, very helpful...
Is that you Planned Parenthood? Or are you just aping Nan Aron?
