look, bottom line is, she may well be a fine lady. She probably has many of the same values as me and other conservatives. But she has not shown that she has a strong enough intellect to withstand the suasions and appeals to emotion that will be used by her liberal comrades on the bench. There is great temptation for justices to become heady and more liberal once they hold the reins of power (Souter, anyone?). She's too much of a risk.

Oh nonsense! Miers is a hard core conservative Christian. She can stand the heat. On the other hand, we sure have had a lot of "brilliant" people on the court that CAN'T think clearly. Kennedy, for example, is a witless bozo. Intelligent? Yes! Writes well? Indeed! Can't see the Constitution with a magnifying glass. Too busy sniffing up Europe's butt.

Perhaps you know her personally. But I dearly wish I had something she had written or said publicly at other times to allow me to be as sure.
