I agree with Mr. Will--although I still reserve judgement on Mrs. Miers. The Court has so badly mismanaged its primary responsibility of interpreting the Constitution that our government has been an effective tyrrany for decades now (a tyrranical government can in fact be benelovent most of the time, as ours has been up to now, but it is nevertheless a de facto tyrrany as defined by the Founders--reading the Declaration of Independence with the current US government in mind is a good way to prove this to yourself.)

Given the dire state of affairs with respect to the mountain of wrongful precedents that have accumulated over the years, there is no more pressing issue before us than the reversal of these abominal precedents and the restoration of the Republic. For that reason, George Will is absolutely correct: the only question that matters is whether the confirmation of Miers as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court will make any signficant forward progress towards restoring the United States as a Contitutional Repuplic under the rule of law.

You know of course that Roberts proclaimed a great deference to precedent.
