1) I have no evidence she is an originalist.
2) IF, as said, he has calculated he cannot appoint the BEST people for the position because they are known Strict Constructionists the weasels are threatening to refuse, and IF we have Senators attempting to protect terrorist rights which we do, and IF we have Senators trying to withdraw us prematurely from Iraq which we DO, and IF we have Senators trying to hike our taxes which we DO, and IF we have Senators trying to slowly contrict all free speech which we DO Etc etc ...
You expose them NOW while the President is STILL standard bearer of the Party before real jockeying begins in fall '06-'07, on a topic HE has the advantage of strength on.
Two years from now he will be weaker then he is now, and that is when the traitors will pounce and our country is in true jeopardy at that point in the WOT if Iraq is not stabilized because I guarentee moves will be made to deny funding at that point. They need to be exposed now.
1) I have no evidence she is an originalist.
There is a small amount of evidence that suggests she may be an originalist. But it certainly isn't conclusive at this point in time. The hearings may help on that.
But you didn't answer the question I asked you.
If the president knows Miers to be an originalist, then wouldn't the best thing for him to do would be to nominate Miers and save the weasel smoke for another fight?
