What testimony?
I can't tell you what "testimony" I'm "free to ignore" if you don't say what you're talking about.
Testimony in the broad sense. If you don't care for Senator Specter's version of the meeting then by all means ignore it. I personally tend to want to find out both positive and negative attributes about nominees to a lifetime appointment. It seems you only care to hear about the few positives and that is your choice. But you'll wind up reading about every third word regarding Ms. Miers. Every new piece of data makes this nomination seem increasingly ill-advised and ill-considered and a betrayal of the promise to the conservative base to appoint nominees in the mold of Thomas and Scalia. And every new attempted defense by the White House looks weaker and sillier since they don't and can't address the actual substantive criticisms of Ms. Miers and her qualifications for the position.
