I have been a Reagan conservative since my college days. And my conservative friends are of the same ilk.

We are all most concerned, particularly regarding Miss Miers lack of conservative credentials.

Perhaps it would best to keep in mind that two of Reagan's SC appointments have been more than disappointing and that a President who has built up a store of credibility (President Bush) deserves at least a modicum of trust when he emphasizes that one aspect in considering this nomination is her strength of character and that he is confident she isn't going to change her attitude toward the role of the judiciary and her deep and abiding respect for the Constitution being the guideposts of this land, not international law (see Sandra Day O'Connor's recent statements---she's a Reagan judge).

The reply to which you responded was to an accusation that my friends and I were pseudo-conservatives. I mentioned Reagan only in that regard.

I am painfully aware of history and the legacy of Reagan's two SC nominees and don't require a history lesson from you.

In fact, the last seven of nine nominees from Republicans going back to Eisenhower, ALL turned out to be Liberal. It is a history I and other conservatives don't want repeated with President George W. Bush who is no less fallible then the other four Republican Presidents (Nixon, Ford and the Sr. Bush being the other three) who appointed those nine. The consideration of this abysmal record would dictate we be less, not more trusting.
