You don't know how the Senate hearings are going to turn out. They could improve Miers standing, which is what I believe is a good possibility, or they can damage her chances of getting confirmed. Not allowing the hearings to take place before you trash Miers, is nothing more then a cheap shot. In your case you don't even want to see the hearings take place at all. LOL

Meier's going for the SCOTUS is like an NBA halftime where they pull some schmoo out of the stands to take one shot at the basket from Halfcourt, to win "whatever." Their chance of making the shot is barely possible. But! What if they do. We still don't sign them to an NBA contract.

Who cares about her standing??? The hearings will not improve either her resume or her conservative credentials.

And as the object of the hearings for the nominee, is to reveal as little as possible in order to be confirmed, something at which Miers is particularly adept, we will learn precious little more about her.

In short, we will gain little from the hearings, except a further strengthening of the nomination, afterwhich it will be too late to do anything about. Absolutley, I would like to see Miers withdraw before the hearings as did Douglas Ginsberg, after the nomination of Judge Bork failed.

The time to dissent is now.
