I'm sorry, but I am sick and tired of "conservatives" saying Miers is not good enough. Though I respect their opinions, none of the anti-Miers conservtives has a more convincing argument than President Bush - he was elected President, Miers is his choice.

We are doing what the limp-wristed Republicans in the Senate are supposed to be doing. We are giving our ADVICE and/or CONSENT.

My ADVICE - Poor choice all around. Withdraw this nomination before it does more damage.

My CONSENT for this choice is NOT given.

And if you think I am one of the anti-Bush crowd, I have not been. But this is biting the hand that fed you, and a huge mistake. I was for John Roberts. I am against Miers.

You are against Miers because she is what? Or not what?

I was for John Roberts. I am against Miers.

I worried about the Roberts nomination because it looked like Bush was going down the road of favoring stealth nominees. But he was clearly brilliant, well-versed in constitutional law, had expressed some opinions during his life, and had some experience as a judge.

Then Bush came out with Miers, who is all stealth without any of Roberts' brilliant, constitutional knowledge, public opinions, or judicial experience.
