“In fact, we find several aspects troubling, particularly her views on abortion and a woman’s ‘self-determination,’

Miers "self-determination" comment on abortion and school prayer, I view as a signal that the she beliees Roe is wrong, and that Fedgov has no buisness legislating in this area, That is consistent with the Tenth Amendment which reserves unspecified powers to the states or to the people, respectively.

I personally believe abortion law should be, as compared to Roe, a matter of self-determination that belongs at the State level.

There's the problem with her. She makes an inscrutable comment like something that could have come from the Delphi Oracle, who breathed toxic gas before delivering her greater pears of wisdom. Now we're supposed to accept this woman on nothing but faith when we've been burned eight time in the last fifty years (8 to zip) on similar "trust me" nominations. The old saying is "Once burned, twice smart." In our case it ought, finally, to be, "Burned eight times in succession, eventually smart." Let's get real and flush this worthless nomination.
