Frank, don't take this personally but principled critics of this nomination will do their homework, not work from rumors, and make an honest attempt to understand the person involved, the political landscape, and Bush's thinking in nomination her. Not, descend to ad homonym personal attacks, unresearched assertions, and petty whining about wanting a fight the outcome of which could not be guaranteed. Really principled Freepers will engage in rational discussion of her qualifications, her likely positions on the issues, the disarray of the republican Senate, and the primary objective of turning the direction of the SCOTUS, while not disparagin the informed opinion of other Freepers. Your mileage may vary.

How is it an ad hominem attack to point out the obvious? This SCOTUS nominee is at best a "stealth" candidate. There is no stand being taken.

If decades of ground work results in Miers, then yes, it is logical to call the federal Republican leadership out for what it has done: sold us out.

And if that is true, these people do not deserve our votes or money.

But here's an ad hominem for you. Only the most unprincipled and blind GOP supporters will not act to reverse the course this party is taking, even if that means booting some representatives out of the House. It is not enough to be anti-Democrat. There's many on our side that are part of the problem too. Miers is not the person to stand up against Kelo, first amendment and abortion type issues.
