yes. I don't really know where you are going with that question, btw. In any event, you seem to be conceeding the point we knew a ton about Reagan before voting for him whereas Miers is an unknown. And Bush promised us he would nominate someone in the mold of Scalia and Thomas and that promise was made long after we all knew what both Scalia and Thomas had done on the court
Do you really think that GW Bush wants his legacy to be that he appointed another souter.
