I think it's unfair to prejudge this woman before she has a fair hearing. The kind of vitriolic insults she has suffered in the past two weeks is disgraceful IMO.
you just killed a puppy!

Some of these thin-skinned pundits would have their panties in a wad if they were verbally abused as much as Miers has been.
I half expect her to show up at the hearing with Coulter and Kristol's teeth hanging from her charm bracelet.
In any case, I look forward to the Hearings following the Full Up or Down Vote by the Full Senate. In or Out that's ok. If we must send up another Batter, the Nuclear (Simple Majority) Option should be implemented first.
That would be the "fair hearing" full of "I can't answer" like Roberts and Ginsburg.
I did find this from July 2000 (BEFORE the Gore debates): "Presidential candidate George W. Bush has publicly stated that Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, the current Court's most far-right Justices, will be the models for his appointments." It's from the nutjob People for the American Way and not an exact quote. It is, however, suggestive that the Gore debates were not the source of this Scalia-Thomas notion. I'm still looking.
Amen! Even FR's own poll on the subject showed that a large majority either want to wait for the hearings or support Ms. Miers outright.
