WASHINGTON -- Senators beginning what ought to be a protracted and exacting scrutiny of Harriet Miers should be guided by three rules. First, it is not important that she be confirmed. Second, it might be very important that she not be. Third, the presumption -- perhaps rebuttable but certainly in need of rebutting -- should be that her nomination is not a defensible exercise of presidential discretion to which senatorial deference is due.

"It is not important that she be confirmed because there is no evidence that she is among the leading lights of American jurisprudence, or that she possesses talents commensurate with the Supreme Court's tasks. The president's ``argument'' for her amounts to: Trust me."
I predict george will will be attacked on this thread like never before.
In the coming days, it will become known that she is extremely pro-life. I am getting this information from decent sources. She has been actively involved in church, including working as a Sunday School teacher and doing missions work. She is very conservative. I opposed this nomination strongly yesterday, but am willing to give it a chance. It could turn out to be one of the best in the past 30 years.
" In addition, the president has forfeited his right to be trusted as a custodian of the Constitution."
Wow. I wouldn't have believed this was George Will.

Bush had his list, Ruth Bader had her list, George had his list and guess who's list counted the most.

QFE!!
Oh boy, here we go. Another conservative joins the ranks of the leftist. Will there be any conservatives left by 08?
Yes there is that.
Will is right. Period. The ad hominem attacks fall flat and just show weak intellect.
Sarcasm
Why does it seem Evangelical/Religious Right groups are supporting Miers and "Intellectual" Conservatives are not?
Very Supreme!
"I predict george will will be attacked on this thread like never before."
I'm disturbed by how many commentators I used to respect seem to be using no logical reasoning in this case. Larry Kudlow is on the radio right now and he was discussing Miers basically saying "well ((such and such)) has supported her and that's good enough for me"... "and this group supports her and they're good". Where are his critical thinking skills? Anybody who honestly thinks "Bush picked her and I trust him" is an argument, really scares me.
He has been attacked on here before: for being an elitist and full of himself. He continues true to his own form.
We're lucky that Bush's kindergarten teacher has passed on or he might have nominated her. She is dead isn't she?
Oh, George Will is country club Republican weenie.
"Oh boy, here we go. Another conservative joins the ranks of the leftist. Will there be any conservatives left by 08?"
Now I disagree with most of this collumn from his assumptions like "money is speech" to his conclusions about Meirs but...
Do we really want to call people "leftist" when we disagree?
harry reids list?
