But as a physicist and self-appointed skeptic of what others tell you I would think that you would expect Ms. Meiers has/will show some intellectual brainpower before being confirmed, and would not take Mr. Bush's statements on the subject as any solider evidence that anyone else's.
Indeed. I will be looking at the testimony she presents before the Congress, as well as the result of her interviews with people I trust, before I come to my personal conclusion as to how I would vote. However - in the long run, it is not me, but those we elected who have the important say here, and I fully expect them to be serious in fulfilling their personal oath to respect our Constitution, and the President we elected.
