After all of this, the only two reasons why Miers is a good pick is that 1) she is confirmable....sorry can't come up with any other good reasons.

You stand for nothing. You bring nothing to the table except royal allegiance that sees you sell out your Party's principles.

YES! If we want enduring conservative decisions, decisions that last and last and that we can all respect, then they must be well and forcefully reasoned.

You don't have to have played for a conference champion team to become a great football player. But man, you are not going to get recruited if the coach has never seen you play football.
