That's true. I look at Bush's appellate choices and it is consistent with his pledge to pick conservatives who will not legislate from the bench. Harriet Miers palyed a significant role in vetting those choices. So I ask myself why would Bush do an about face? My answer is he wouldn't. Bush is confident that what Miers has related to him is consistent with his judicial philosophy, of that I am confident. I am not so confident that Harriet has told the whole truth and nothing but the truth to make Bush take this position but I am giving her the benefit of the doubt until I see reason not to.

I think you've hit on why I'm bemused by all the vitriol.

I don't remember anyone calling the President out on his choices for the lower courts - why would he suddenly lose his touch when it comes to The Supremes?
