Your link went to a site that is suspect:

www.rightsideredux.com? The link is to a website that has documented the various arguments pro and con for the Miers nomination. Understandably, that is too painful for you, so you deflect.

About Legacy

From the Legacy Law page:

Neither Legacy Law Foundation nor Legacy Family Caucus (collectively, “Legacy”) represents the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, nor does Legacy receive support from the "Church". Legacy’s trustees, officers, advisors, employees, and volunteers may be members of the Church, but they are advised to refrain from claiming that Legacy represents the Church. They are further advised to avoid (i) using the imprimatur of the Church, (ii) assembling in Church buildings, (iii) the indiscriminate use of ward lists, (iv) posting information on ward web sites, or (v) the distribution of information at Church meetings or on Church grounds. While the Church does not directly endorse, support, sponsor, or fund organizations such as Legacy, it does encourage its members as private citizens to be anxiously engaged in good causes of their own choosing.

They wouldn't support Miers because she isn't LDS and is childless, and does not have the "litigating" experience for principle (codeword for religious) based family policies they are looking for.

You're obviously as unqualified as anyone to speak for the LDS.

A. That website-and its proprietor-don't take a position, with regard to the Miers confirmation. The web-page I posted merely laid out all of the arguments, pro and con, that had been made in the initial week following her nomination.

B. If anything, it was weighted-heavily-in favor of the pro-Miers side, which anyone who crosschecked each argument-and analyzed the relative validity of each one-would realize.

C. As far as I know, none of the arguments bore any relation to the Church of Latter Day Saints, which I believe is neutral on SCOTUS appointments.
