They also thought that Souter was another Thomas. He turned out to be another Stevens.
I hear Ann Coulter on O'Reilly a minute ago claiming Miers is not qualified, I'm a big fan Ann's, but she is wrong here. Miers is as every bit as qualified and Rhenquist was when he was nominated. Just as qualified as Thomas and 5 times more qualified as Breyer and Ginsburg. I understand that there is a body of Judges with more of a track record on the Court to pick from, I was hoping GWB would pick Janice Rogers Brown and I was sorta let down over his choice, but WTF.... it's his choice not mine.
I'll wait until the hearings and express an INFORMED opinion at that time, right now I'll take GWB's word for it, but something tells me he hasn't let us down, after 200+ judges nominated and passed, I doubt anyone can claim GWB has a track record of nominating Liberal Judges
