You'd be supporting Miers if you held to the Conservative belief that all judges deserved fair up or down votes and hearings, but you're not. What you're position is, is nothing short of a Democrat filibuster.

To think that just two years ago we railed at the Dems that the nominee deserved an up-or-down vote.

Now we torpedo our own nominees before they get a hearing. Great.

Well, we can't have the hearings any time soon because Harriet is cramming with her Cliff Notes on constitutional law. Every time she opens her mouth she digs a hole for herself so they have kept her away from the Senate.

I wonder what conservative principle embraces cronyism and mediocrity. The only 'conservative principle' I see the Miers supporters embodying is absolute monarchy. The Emperor has commanded and we must kow tow and obey. To hear is to obey, O Emperor.

What's next ? The proskynesis ?

Douglas Ginsberg, nominated by Ronald Reagan after Bork was NOT confirmed, withdrew before his confirmation hearings.

Where do you get this notion, that a withdrawal is the same as a filibuster and therefore not conservative? You are wrong on both counts. Withdrawing a nominee has nothing to do with ideology, either Liberal or conservative and is not unconstitutional.
