Abortion is one of the least of my concerns because it is still voluntary.

It isn't the least of my concerns. Insensitivity to the value and worth of helpless innocent life is a huge red flag that puts all other red flags in its shadow.

Miers' supposed solidarity with the pro-life worldview was Bush's chief selling point for this nomination.

If abortion is Miers' strong point, this nomination threatens to set new standards for SCOTUS disasters.

The problem with Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court was there was no reliable public evidence that she now held the views the President vouched that she held. Her views in 1993 were obviously not acceptable for conservatives.

In any event, we are now back to having Sandra Day O'Connor decide the cases Harriet Miers would have decided had she been confirmed unless and until the President is successful at getting another nominee confirmed. Luttig is my preference.
