It's the "indications show" part that bothers people, including me. Bush has not always been right about people (witness Putin). Harriet Miers is a coin toss. That's not what I want in a Supreme Court nominee.
Bingo....This should never have been a questionable decision amongst the base (if the base was even really considered).
I have my doubts, big time.
She's not a coin toss for POTUS and his Putin comment was a political nicety that he hoped Putin will live up to.
You and others are quick to trust talking heads but not POTUS. All the paper trails in the world mean nothing, if the confirmed nominee takes a left turn. POTUS went out of his way to repeatedly state that THIS nominee would not.
