"I wouldn't call John Roberts, Pricilla Owens, Janice Rogers Brown, Michael McConnell, Edith Brown Clement and Bill Pryor trust me picks."
I would say Roberts is a definite trust me. I have no idea whether he would vote to overturn Roe or whether he is really a conservative. I sure hope he is. In any case, all of these have records that can be examined. Miers is a blank piece of paper--that and the fact she's a Bush crony is all that she has going for her as far as I can see.
There have been cronies, aka.friends/pals, of US presidents throughout our history. Some have been good, some not so good and some pretty bad. Being a crony is not a detrimental factor. Miers has been involved in legal matters for 30 years. She headed the Texas state bar association and was a managing partner in a large Texas law firm. Miers was also legal council to the POTUS. She is pro-life and believes in interpreting the Constitution per the FF`s idea of original intent.
Miers will be solid conservative justice.

I agree and have wondered why we do not have a Scalia court. The Miers nomination makes you review the Roberts nomination.
