The stunt also threatens Republican relations with religious conservatives. The assurances offered to the Arlington Group were almost certainly empty.

This is already happening. The Evangelical conservatives who sprang out of the gates with support for Myers are mostly keeping quiet at the moment. Gary Bauer has played this role most publicly, backing off what he first said, but you don't hear much from the others, either.

"Empty assurances" has been my evaluation. It all came from Karl Rove and some selected Texas judges who are friends of the nominee. It's unlikely that Rove knows where she really stands on these issues, or wants to know. He was just doing his job.

They, like all but the die hards, are sick to death of the hysteria. They're likely worn-out; that's why they're quiet.

Yes, as a prolife evangelical conservative I've been supportive of the Miers nomination. Mostly because of her membership in an evangelical church. I think it's time for an evangelical on the Supreme Court. However, Now I am very concern about why she attends an Episcopal church. I have nothing against Episcopalians, just the Episcopal church that is pro-choice.
