Bush stated he would appoint judges like Scalia and Thomas. Bush broke his promise.

No he hasn't broken his promise. Until Miers gets her hearing, you can't prove that as fact that he has broken his promise.

I'm bored.
All so repetitive.

The woman deserves her hearing.
Let her fail or fly.
It's all about the process.
NOT the pre-hearing rants and blood sport.

I cannot imagine being the nominee in this environment.

The hearings are merely a political kubuki dance. The goal of the nominee is to say as little as possible. A nominee's record is a fact, what they say in a hearing is largely BS. None of us know what Ms. Stealth will do on the court until she's already confirmed and casting votes. I don't like pigs in a poke.
