"What are you afraid of allowing this nominee to get to say her piece?"
From what I've read in the past several days of Miers, I'd say that a fear of there being any chance whatsoever of her being confirmed is pretty rational, from a conservative point of view.
Whoa, what have I missed.. I thought I have stayed pretty much on top of all of the Straw-men being shoved out in front of the unknown facts.. That is the problem,. none of us seem to know what Miers is about, which is why I want to hear her out.. After all it is possible that I am the one that is wrong.. I know that is a real stretch, but anything is possible.. :)
