Addendum to post 122: Perhaps you did not understand that the sarcasm points up the fact that Miers is largely an unknown quantity (years away from knowing the outcome). The best we can do as Freepers who enjoy disquisiting about politics is to constrain the likely outcome as one constrains an unknown infinite series between known ones. The methodologies of those who are concerned about Miers have been far more effective on the whole than the "just trust him" approach precisely because they are logical.

What is logical is to allow the constitutional process to work itself out. The Constitution gives the power of nomination to the President and the Senate must give its approval.

Thus, the power to do anything is in the hands of the Senate. You only have slightly more influence in this than you have over who will be the coach of the Chicago Bears.

And if you believe the opposition as seen around here or as exists among the most radical elements of the GOP has sufficient weight to change the minds of the Senators then I suggest you are wrong. The only opposition to her will come from the radical left wing of the RATs.

If you want to ally yourself with it don't expect many to believe you are conservative.
