She's 60 years old but she's a young 60 years old.

I agree, she's not too old.

I find it amusing that a good number of the anti-Miers posters say "She's so old. Hillary will get elected in 2006 and then nominate a replacement for Miers."

Of course, a lot of other anti-Miers posters say "Great, now she'll be a wimpy Conservative on the bench for 30 years. We are screwed for decades to come."

I wanted JRB. But I beleive Miers is a committed Christian, committed to the 2nd Amendment, and very strict about details and wording in documents. I think Bush made a smart choice.

did you see the quote from the 80's where people were reassuring republicans that o'connor was a 'good christian'?

"She's so old. Hillary will get elected in 2006 and then nominate a replacement for Miers."

They really believe that Senators nominate judges?

I was hoping Bush would select someone about Roberts' age, but Miers' mother is still alive at 93, so she could be around a long time. Miers is about the age Ginsburg was when she was named to the Court in 1993.
