This reply by you shows why we shouldn't listen to you any more.
We know, and YOU KNOW, because Leo Leonard came out and said so, and said he strongly endorsed the candidate, because in his long years working with her he has proven herself to be a highly qualified person for the job.

But now you act like you'nve never heard of him, never knew he was consulted, didn't know he endorsed her.

And then you ask why he should be consulted. Well, you KNOW he is the Vice President of the Federalist Society (the society that you falsely said Miers doesn't support). You know that we all revere them for their approach to constitutional issues.

So it isn't good for your side that the person they put in a leadership position is so certain that this nominee has what it takes and should be supported, since you (with NO evidence whatsoever) think she should withdraw.

Anybody who pretends not to know that a major player was consulted and endorsed the nominee after 2 weeks of this discussion cannot be trusted to provide factual or useful additions to the debate.

I'll apologize tomorrow when I'm not so mad at those who sling false, lying accusations just to support their side -- this anything goes mentality is totally antithetical to the principles of conservatism.

We aren't sure she is qualified. Stick to the facts. Some are truly convinced she will be an O'Conner on the bench. Say that. But don't stoop to MoveOn.Org tactics. Don't lie about her, misrepresent her record, debase her achievements, ridicule all who support her, just because you are certain that your "cause" is just.

the society [Federalist] that you [not me, some other poster] falsely said Miers doesn't support

AFAIK, Miers is agnostic toward the ultimate goals of the FedSoc. Most people appreciate the FedSoc activity in gather people of diverse opinion, so spaeking at the FedSoc is not an indication of one's core philosophies.

Can you show something that unequivocally indicates that she supports the FedSoc?

These pitchforkers don't know what they are about to do. This is the second close friend of GW's that they have publicly trashed. He gave in to them on Gonzalez and he may have to give in on Miers BUT, they are messing with a man that can be one mean SOB and he has a long memory. They think he is vulnerable because he has low poll numbers now. He has 3 more years and that is one hell of a long time to be in a position to make a lot of political lives miserable and they had better be damned sure they have the stones for the fight.
