The sickness of what liberals have done to America is that so many citizens – even conservative citizens – seem to believe the job of a Supreme Court justice entails nothing more than "voting" on public policy issues. The White House considers it relevant to tell us Miers' religious beliefs, her hobbies, her hopes and dreams. She's a good bowler! A stickler for detail! Great dancer! Makes her own clothes!

The WH has clustered this nomination. As an evangelical, I don't care about her church affiliation or how she stood on a political issue. The only relevant inquiry is whether a justice has an acceptable judicial philosophy. The best way of determining that philosophy is to see how that potential justice decided cases. With Harriet, we do not have any way of determining that philosophy, apart from the POTUS demanding that we trust him.

Apparently, Bush picked Harriet to avoid a fight with the Dems. Due to their mismanagment, the WH has got a fight with a far less qualified and accomplished candidate. What a complete waste!

Now, one of the bots will flame me for daring to question the wisdom of the President. Go ahead. I just don't care.

It is a waste... a bum play called at scrimmage.

We wanted Rogers-Brown... we'd settle for Owen... but we got Miers. That's equivalent to a movie director who wanted DeNiro... would settle for Pesci... but got Steve Guttenberg.

Truer words were never spoken.
