I trust Brownback as well, but there's something that I've been thinking about concerning his having issues with the Miers nomination. I know that John Roberts had some judicial rulings from which the senators could learn of his judicial philosophy, etc.....okay.....but did Roberts have any rulings on abortion, gay marriage, etc. that would have given senators any idea as to how he would rule on those issues. I mean, Roberts wouldn't answer any questions on abortion either, and Brownback ended up voting for him. So if Brownback is considering voting against Miers because he doesn't know where she stands on abortion, it seems that he would also have to admit that he didn't know where Roberts stood on the issue either. I love Senator Brownback and am 100% pro-life, but I don't think that he really knows for sure how Roberts will vote on Roe V. Wade either, yet he still voted in favor.
I'm such a novice on stuff like this, but it's just something that I've been wondering about.
