So, it is alright to promise one thing before an election and do another thing once elected?

Who do the Senators, who will vote whether or not to confirm Miers, represent? Are not the citizens who elected them entitled to express their views on the matter? Are citizens who think their elected leaders have made an error in judgment not entitled to an redress of grievances?

Are you done with the hysterics?

No one is stopping you from picking up the phone and saying your opinions.

Not the way the Constitution was originally written. The People were to be kept as far away from judicial nominees as possible.

I think we American's do have input in this. through our representation. Unfortunately the President is not standing for re-election while most of our senators are. One of the driving forces in many of our minds in the last two elections was the Supreme Court and the type of person we were told the Candidate believed should be on the court.

Harriet Miers may be a very nice lady. I just don't think she was the best possible choice (as we are being told she is). Granted she is already 60 years old, and may not be there for long, but who will be President when she retires?
