"Why didn't anyone mobilize against Kennedy because they didn't know whether or not he was conservative?"
Because he lied, apparently. Everything on his resume pointed to a seasoned conservative. We were taken on a ride.
Then you're taking everything on HIS word. That doesn't make any sense either. Your whole argument against Miers is that she doesn't have a background, not that she doesn't have a resume. Miers could just as easily write a resume explaining that she's violently opposed to abortion but you wouldn't believe her, would you?
