My point is that people change over time, Reagan did.

Do you really think that GW Bush wants his legacy to be that he appointed another souter.

the question was about knowledge of Miers vs knowledge about Reagan. We know Reagan changed. We don't know enough about Meirs to establish she has any ideas of firmly-setled,unyielding, conservative principles or that she has repudiated liberal principles she once held.

There is too much that is unknown and therefore her credentials do not meet the criteria established by Bush's own promises.

Bush too, like Reagan, could have changed; only for the worse.

I desire some objective, measureable, verifiable, conservative criteria not some vague "trust me" words.

Mr. Bush, tear down this wall of uncertainty.

JRB, baby.

Bush is the one who claimed that Miers would not change over time, and would be the same person 20 years from now as she is today.
