If I'm not mistaken, David Souters conservative credentials were impeccable. That did us a whole lot of good! A legal history is irrelevant when a judge makes it to the Supreme Court. History has proven that.

I think its the opposite: Souter was nominated after the Thomas fight because he didn't have a paper trail. And look where that got us. That's why so many of us are leery. I reiterate I oppose stealth candidates on principle because I think we can win by presenting conservative views openly and honestly. We have nothing to hide. Where we get in trouble is by reassuring liberals we're ashamed to be conservatives and that heaven forbid, we mustn't be on record as having a philosophy at all. That's the trouble with Miers: she doesn't appear to have a philosophy conservatives can defend. A lot of us are not happy with the way this is playing out.
