For what it’s worth, my sense is that Harriet Miers will be, case by case, a more reliable vote against leftist judicial activism than her mercurial predecessor, Sandra Day O’Connor. Why do I say this? Well, she’s a strong supporter of the right to bear arms. The great Second Amendment expert Dave Kopel says you have to go back to Louis Brandeis 90 years ago to find a Supreme Court justice whose pre-nomination writings extol gun rights as fulsomely as Miss Miers. According to an old boyfriend, Judge Nathan Hecht of the Texas Supreme Court, she packs heat — a Smith & Wesson .45 — which I can say with certainty the other lady justice, the far-left Ruth Bader Ginsberg, never has. She is also very opposed to abortion, and a generous contributor to pro-life groups.

My thoughts exactly!

And then there's this blogger who sums up what I believe is the strategy behind the Miers nomination:

I hope you're right, Julie, I really do. Because the legacy that Miers will create will be the posterity that my political activism has given to my young children. I still hold to the fact that there were several other notables who would have been far better choices, albeit likely to incite much more of a fight from the Senators on the far left of the aisle.

In any case, I am going to use this for the front-page op-ed of the upcoming (and currently a few days late!) issue of the PATRIOT newsletter. I'm sure it will piss more than a few people off, which just tells me I'm doing a good job. $:-)

Hey Julie; I'm with you! Thanks for the link to the blog. Wonderful analysis.

The more important point here is twofold: the president has not let us down on the judges he has appointed to the benches in America. They are all conservative. Dr. Dobson also pointed this out.

The president also does not change his stripes. I do know that he worked with Davod Horowitz concerning war with the dems, and that MOOSEMUSS analysis sounds like something Horowitz would approve.

Now if the so-called base conservatives do not hurt him; it would be tragic if they did him in, and caused him to lose all the ground he has covered in his war on the dems.
