did you even read the press release? the part in bold reflects the nature of the comments i've been making regarding this BS of "waiting till the hearings".
as ive said, she will likely invoke the ginsburg rule on matters tthat will come before the court. no matter what answers she gives, we do not know if she will drift leftward within a decade or less. given her past of supporting affirmative action and the creation of a "women's studies" lecture series, trepidation is warranted
It's a done deal SD. Let it go. Bush isn't pulling back her nomination and I doubt if Miers will remove herself. Conservatives wanted Bush to pick Lutigg, Brown, Jones or another rightwing firebrand. It didn't happen. We've all been disappointed and frustrated. But Miers is qualified. From everything I've read she is a pro-life conservative who will interpret the Constitution with the original intent that the Founders envisioned. She probably won't turn out to be a Scalia or a Thomas. But there is no evidence she will turn out to be another Stephens, O'Conner or a Souter either.
When in doubt, I'm inclined to trust Bush.
You don't know that about any of the other choices considered.
When I voted for President Bush for his second term, I did so because I trusted him. The most important issues were the safety of our country and the judge issue. President Bush has not failed on the first issue, so I will trust him on this one.
