On balance, comparing Miers to Coulter, I would tend to agree that from a conservative perspective and based partly on her younger age for purposes of length of tenure, Coulter would have been a better pick. Only she wouldn't have made it out of the Judiciary Committee. Coulter is adept at pissing everybody off, with a few exceptions.
I don't want a "conservative" activist as a judge any more than a liberal activist. And Coulter would be a conservative activist.

And what you confuse as a conservative activist is probably an "originalist". Hence, you are an anti-originalist. You opposed Reagan, too.

A conservative activist is exactly what I want. I also think the conformation hearings could be quite lively.
