Please do not confuse the Republican Party with Conservatives. There are too many RINOs and self-aggrandizing moonbats on our side of the aisle to trust them to follow the President if he nominated a well known conservative. A Robert Bork confirmation debacle would cripple the President at just the time that he does not have a lot of political capital to spend.

Bush is part of the problem. I think in truth, most of even the complaining Republican Conservative senators know that Miers really is a _VERY_ Conservative pick. I think this has a little air of retribution to it. Lott has still not forgiven the RINO Republicans for abandoning him - rather throwing him to the Democrat wolves, and other Conservatives are pissed at Bush for squandering the hard won political capital of last November.

I remember that Bork hearing. That was terrible. But it was during those hearings that I became a life long fan of Alan Simpson.
