but her comments about the Federalist Society and the NAACP should still be applicable today, since those organizations haven't changed.

Yes, they have. In 1988, the Federalist Society was in its infant stages and consisted of a small group of Texas politicos. Today it has evolved into a conservative/libertarian think tank -- much different. The NAACP used to be focussed on uplifting black people mainly through education, now its just an extension of the Democrat Party and is focussed on the defeat and demonization of Republicans and the expansion of the government plantation.

Miers comments in 1988 and today on those organizations make perfect sense.

Based on W's record of appointments so far, I can live with "trust me". Nobody is perfect, but all this vile "you don't listen to us" whining has degenerated into an infantile temper tantrum of the hard right. Barry Goldwater is dead, and they need to get over this before they all look like flaming boobs in the end.

On a darker note, the anti Miers crowd is handing ammo to the dims by the carload, not only for the '06 election cycle, but for when JP Stevens drops dead.
