I wonder why everybody is so quick to jump ship?

Conservative Republicans want a strict constructionist on the Supreme Court and we thought we heard President Bush promise us that during his campaigns.

Being a strict Constructionist requires an enormous amount of experience in Constitutional Law and a very nimble mental acuity.

Miss Miers does not have the proper toolbox to be a strict Constructionist. You do not need hearings to learn that (in fact, it will not be learned in the hearings).

Well said. Learning of her nomination was akin to learning that you have a clump of tumors.

Yup--just like we heard his daddy promise "Read my lips, no new taxes", and "Souter is a conservative".

I think that your going a little too deep here, all it takes is common sence and a degree and the right morals, she has all of that.
