Well if that doesn't just piss off the New York Times I don't know what will.
Pro-life born again Christian from Texas. This is precisely what America need's on the Supreme Court.
Excellent. And check this out:
Miers once owned a .45-caliber revolver, a gift from a brother who was worried about her safety when she lived alone in Dallas, says Judge Nathan Hecht of the Texas Supreme Court, who has known Miers for 30 years and has dated her.
"It's a huge gun - he wanted to be sure she stopped the guy," Hecht said in a telephone interview. The judge recalled one Sunday afternoon driving out to the country, setting up tin cans on a dirt road and trying to teach Miers how to shoot.

The worm is turning. The libs will filibuster and the doom and gloom "conservatives" will be eating crow.......
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
I hope she is for real and God Bless her.
But... but... but... she used to be a Democrat!
MIERS FOUND CHRIST, TURNED REPUBLICAN
That's exactly what happened to me 20 years ago.
Bush is laying a trap designed to show just how intolerant the leftists are.
Gee. What a surprise. Could it be that Bush actually knows this woman better than Reid, Pelosi and Bill Kristol?
I turned republican before I found christ.
So what took Miers so long? This worries me a lot...starting to feel real bad about this....I want to die....oh Bush why has though forsaken us....[sarcasm/]
This should take care of the Dimorat support she had.
Ohh My God!!!! Were Doomed!!!!!!!!
Now we shall see who the anti-Christians are on both sides of the fence.
My guess is Jesus doesn't care much for our politics.
Ugh, this is going to get very, very ugly.
you must remember the ny times, which considers the holy trinity; dowd, krugman, and friedman, considers anybody that's christian public enemy number one and more dangerous than the taliban and zarqawi combined.
New York Times getting ready for a frontal assault on Miss Miers' Evangelical Christianity. While they like "diversity" they only like it when you can count shades of gray or X and Y chromosomes.
This is a load of horse manure, to put it plainly.
I have no objection to born-again conservative Evangelicals, but I find it highly suspicious that this woman turned Republican and joined a Texas church at a moment most convenient to her career. I also find it suspicious that someone leaked this story to Drudge, with the obvious hope of pulling Evangelicals back on board the train.
What this reminds me of, frankly, is John Fitzgerald Kennedy. All the Catholics voted for Kerry because they liked the idea of a Catholic in the White House. The only trouble is that Kennedy was, to all appearances, a lousy Catholic. Not only that, but he firmly promised not to let his Catholic views influence his decisions, and he kept that promise to the letter.
There's no way on earth that an outsider can say whether or not a conversion was genuine. Maybe this one was. But it still doesn't mean that she would be a good Supreme Court Justice.
