"Hmmm.... The ad hominem attack machine ok for she but not for thee?"

I don't consider the "attack" on Miers the same as that on Bork. The Bork attack was based on outrageous fear-mongering over abortion, women's rights, etc. It was all based on political considerations and was an attack on a judicial philosophy.

The attack on Miers is simply about qualifications and is fair in a way that I believe the attack on Bork was not.

I was responding to someone who said that Borks opinion of Myers should be discounted because he couldn't get himself on the SC himself, so I don't disagree with you one iota. We would live in quite a different country had he been confirmed.
