This response does not answer my question. You just tacitly admitted that President Bush could nominate ANYBODY to the SCOTUS, and you'd trust his judgement, even though it might be obvious to the rest of the country that it was a stupid choice.
The problem with the Miers nomination is that it's not obvious it's a stupid choice, it requires a minute or so to think about it.
You are way overrating the numbers of the anti-Miers camp and you are sadly mistaken if you form a majority. Majority of conservatives and Republicans are either supportive of President Bush choice or they just want to wait and see before making judgment on Miers. Only a minority, but a very vocal one (talks show hosts and conservative pundits), are against her without knowing anything about her.
PS: Check the FR poll on Miers.
