Great article. I'm a Miers supporter because she's more of a known quantity to me since she's from Dallas, but I can certainly understand why some people are concerned. Shoot, I'm concerned about any Supreme Court nominee because I know that once they're confirmed, they're subject to being wowed by the glitzy life of DC liberals. Souter fell victim to that as did O'Connor.

I think, however, that Miers' grounding in her faith and her lack of succumbing thus far to the party circuit (she ran Locke Purnell here in Dallas, which is a huge, wealthy firm) indicate that she more interested in serving than in being wooed and admired for "growing" on the court.

I'm so sick of all these people who are berating Bush for picking Miers. I think we have to look at his record over the last five years with lower court nominations. Has he ever picked a liberal to fill a seat on the Court of Appeals or a Federal District Court. To my knowledge, no. I'm sure some of those picks have been "unknown quantities." He went to the mat to get Owens and Rogers-Brown on the court. I think we, as a conservative community, have to trust the President's judgement. I don't agree with everything he does, but I do trust his judgement.
