The only problem is that it takes two sides to have a reasonded discussion of issues etc. You and I can do that all day... but if the other side doesn't ... we just lose.

If we agree to battle on unprincipled grounds, because those are the grounds the DEMs choose, we've lost.

It's just a matter of time. Building on past bad precedents (not objecting to Ginsberg as a matter of principle, tolerating "stealth" answers, submitting to the DEM battleground of issues advocacy instead of the traditionalist-modernist judicial philosophy battleground) will not succeed in advancing the conservative agenda for the long haul.

I think Miers is to the left of O'Connor, on the law. And so, in that regard, she has to be vague - because if that came out in testimony, not only would we wacko-ideologues be upset, so would the "follow Bush" crowd.
