She has neither the conservative nor judicial bona fides. She's probably a very nice person, but that's not the issue.

What are the odds of her stepping down on her own by this time next week? 50-50?

"I don't have any doubt that she'll be conservative," Hecht said in an interview on NBC"s "Today" show. "Whether she'll move the court to the right I don't know."

Miers' commitment to her evangelical church in Dallas "shapes the kind of person that she is," Hecht said. "It doesn't shape her view on cases. In fact, almost the opposite."

"Someone who is very committed to their faith is also going to be committed to the oath that they take as a judge, and is going to judge cases fairly and is not going to let personal or religious views or any other kind of views influence the decisions in actual cases,"

Well, there you have it. An evangelical Christian moderate who'll let them do whatever they want.

Once again, Jimmah has told his base - F**k you very much.

No doubt she went and hauled out all her old text books from that Constitutional law class she took as a student and is busily boning up for her new job.

A person that never makes mistakes should not be fazed by criticism from ordinary masses.

The more I hear about the lady the more I like her. I want to see how she handles herself at the hearings before I pass judgment.

[Earthdweller]

Give her a fair up or down vote bump.

"Miers Said to Be Unfazed by Criticism"

Now, why should that not surprise us?

People of strong character and purpose seldom are "fazed" by the darts and arrows of others.

There are many wise, knowledgeable citizens out here in the heartland who know that it neither takes an Ivy League graduate nor a judge to be devoted to the Founders' Constitution. As a matter of fact, some of the most knowledgeable constitutional scholars are those who have read extensively the writings of the Founders and that great body of literature from which they gleaned their ideas.

Some of the least knowledgeable are those who have all the right "credentials," including degrees from liberal journalism and law schools, and have not a clue about the ideas essential to the protection of liberty as incorporated into the Constitution of the United States.

If she is of good character, with a good mind, loves the law, loves liberty, and is dedicated to the proposition that judges should interpret the constitution and not make law, then she will cause her critics to be silenced by her actions.

Hecht, who has known Miers for 30 years, said.... "I don't have any doubt that she'll be conservative," Hecht said in an interview on NBC"s "Today" show. "Whether she'll move the court to the right I don't know."

Oh boy.... That is NOT encouraging.

By the way, what does being "pro life" or "pro choice" have to do with whether or not Roe v. Wade was a proper Constitutional ruling?

Does anyone else think Harriet Miers looks like Rachel Dratch?
