"By doing so, president Bush has lobbed a grenade at the cohesion and morale of the Republican party."

Actually I honestly think, and am more convinced then ever, that this has more to do with peoples friends within little uppity cliques getting the nomination they are sure they deserved.

And once again, you or anyone else for that matter, has yet to cite a lucid argument as to why she should not be allowed her day in committee.

An intellectually honest person wouldn't stoop to demonizing people with sincere principles who disagree with you. Perhaps your psychic mind reading abilities are unreliable, and have misled you into maligning the motives of others en masse.

And once again, you or anyone else for that matter, has yet to cite a lucid argument as to why she should not be allowed her day in committee.

The major objection to Miers, is that she has no documented history of a judicial philosphy that calls for interpreting the constitution as written.

George Bush bypassed a large pool of candidates with this history, for one particularly lacking it. The results of such stealth "trust me" candidates without this documented history, has been quite dire.

There is nothing Miers could say in the confirmation hearings, that would suddenly make this documented past history of her judicial philosophy appear.
