This is all a big myth. The SC judges that turned liberal were never conservative in the first place. They were "trust us" they are conservative picks. Conservative judges don't drift to being liberal and liberal judges don't drift to being conservative.

I don't get the impression that Miers is part of that set right now. No reason to think she'll start partyin' hardy as a Supreme Court Justice.

You guys talk as if Miers is a drooling idiot, unable to know her own mind.

I'm 54, and I don't give a damn what anybody else thinks of me. I sure wouldn't care if I had a job guaranteed for life.
