Another worthless opinion from one of the more outspoken new members of the ACLU. Some will go a long way to get noticed, especially if they used to get more attention.
Mr. Sessions (R)Mr. Sessions affirmative…. “My conversations with Harriet Miers indicate that she is a first-rate lawyer and a fine person. Her legal skills are proven and her reputation throughout the legal community is excellent. It is not necessary that she have previous experience as a judge in order to serve on the Supreme Court. It’s perfectly acceptable to nominate outstanding lawyers to that position. I look forward to the confirmation process and to learning more about her judicial philosophy.”
Mr. Cornyn (R) Mr Cornyn…affirmative "The President has announced his nominee to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court of the United States: Harriet Miers, currently serving as White House Counsel. As he did with Judge John G. Roberts, Jr., the President has chosen an outstanding nominee for our nation's highest court. The Senate should consider this nomination in both a thorough and expedient manner.
"Harriet Miers is a brilliant legal mind. She is a woman of outstanding character who clearly understands what it means to follow the law. She is deeply committed to public service, and has a distinguished history of professional achievement. It is clear that her past experiences have well prepared her for the honor of serving our country as a Supreme Court Justice. I strongly support her nomination.
"It is important that we put aside partisanship, and that the Senate fulfill its constitutional responsibility of advice and consent. This fine nominee must be treated with civility and respect, not as a political pawn. I hope that we in the Senate can move forward in a manner worthy of the American people."
Mr. Coburn (R) Mr.Coburn..affirmative. “Harriet Miers deserves a fair and thorough hearing and confirmation process. I look forward to learning more about her qualifications and judicial philosophy in the coming days,” Dr. Coburn said, adding that he plans to meet with Miers this week.”

Yea we all know Bush is surrounded with only those who agree with him, oh, wait a minute, that was Clintoon, not Bush.
WHAT CRAP
Yep, Bob Barr..closet DU'er from waaaay back! LOL
Or sexist, he might be elitist...doesn't mean he's wrong.
If Miers becomes the swing vote that upholds all the past activist liberal rulings, the GOP big tent will implode.
If not, then what have we to lose?
The Atlanta Urinal-Constipation remains another useless liberal paper.
Great day to sign up. You'll fit right in with the Bush bashers.
Your either with us or against us.
Looks like the against are stacking up. Oh Well, those of us who are loyal and trust W will remain to the end.
All others can take the Coulter train to nowhere.
I call it the fishwrap.
This idea that the job ought to go to the most qualified, or the most qualified qualified, is simply a mechanistic idea, and totally fallacious if the most qualified also happens to be, e.g., a Marxist. The nominee may have been selected, at least partly, on another basis besides a pageful of words.
Like I should pay attention to the ACLU. Dont think so.
We'll try very hard to remember who you were.
If Miers becomes the swing vote that upholds all the past activist liberal rulings, the GOP big tent will implode.

Agreed - she and Roberts should work full force to turn over that ruling -- VERY BAD and a horrible anti-Constitutional precedent.
Has Bob Barr joined the ACLU?
Hey Bob Barr...STFU and go back to the anti-Christian ACLU.
Imust disagree with you. Bob Barr was a good man whosupported teh Consttituion. Moreover, he was right on he money with the miers thing. There is a time to hold and a time to fold.
Time to fold and bring out a real originalist like Brown or Luttig.
Instead, he has given them still another stealth candidate and confounded everybody.
I honestly do not believe that we will be disappointed when Justice Miers is confirmed.
Her brother is my physician, and if she is half as Conservative as he is, GWB has hit still another grand slammer.
