For many conservatives, Supreme Court nominations are, short of war and peace, about the most important responsibility a president has.
It is natural and desirable for conservatives to be avidly interested in the nominations, and entirely predictable that many conservatives will be outraged when a Republican president appoints someone of such questionable qualifications as Miers.
Ho hum. People are outraged about all kinds of dumb stuff. They'll get over it. Life goes on.
