the fact that Podhoretz opposes her makes me think she may be a good choice.

I agree with that, and offer this:

the fact that Kristol opposes her makes me think she may be a good choice.

Yeah Kristol. I just happened to run across his 2004 column recently. It was about how Bush needed to replace Cheney with McLame.

Totally reminded me why I hate that guy (Kristol).

No kidding. Kristol is not a limited-government conservative. Neither are a lot of Miers' critics.

Wheras Thomas Sowell, who is one of the best originalist writers going, said that although he would like to see a seasoned Constitutionalist jurist on the court, he understands the constraints Bush is operating under, and, within those constraints, he thinks Miers could end up being a very good choice.

So I'll put Sowell on one side of the seesaw - a man who lives and breathes the Constitution - and Kristol and Krauthammer and Coulter and Malkin - who either want expanded government or write more on non-Constitutional topics.

And watch the see-saw turn into a trebuchant under the weight of Sowell's opinion.
