Have we been misled, and if so, by whom?

I think the real question is "What does Bush claim about Miers?"

Bush has said again and again that he believes Miers will strictly interpret the Constitution and exercise judicial constraint. So either Bush is flat out lying, or he's wrong about Miers. If, as many claim, he is just wrong, then he's misled no one, since he himself thinks the promise has been fulfilled.

Miers had helped push Roberts' nomination through the Senate, and Bush said that "she will strictly interpret our Constitution and laws. She will not legislate from the bench."

I guess this guy is duped by Miers too. "She has been a forceful advocate of conservative legal principles and judicial restraint throughout her career," said Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society.

My question was on the well-known direct quote popularly attributed to George W. Bush regarding "in the mold of a Scalia." It appears not to be from Bush at all. My question has nothing whatsoever to do with Miers.
