Does anyone have any facts yet or are all us FReepers still chasing around rumor and innuendo like a couple of neighbors over the back fence?

If Miers is willing to solemnly swear that she will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that she will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon her as a justice under the Constitution and laws of the United States, what reason can be offered for opposing her?

what reason can be offered for opposing her?

Conservatives have been waiting decades for this opportunity. Frankly her"word" isn't good enough. We need someone with a brilliant constitutional record as a federal judge. No more no less, bye bye Ms. Miers

Replace "Miers" with "Hillary" to see exactly why your statement is so wrong.

Countless Judges have promised the same things, only to end up going left after getting the job.

I want someone who has fought the hard battles for years. Someone who has put their principles out for the world to see - not someone who has made keeping those positions hidden one of their highest priorities in life.
