WASHINGTON — In new signs of eroding support for Harriet E. Miers, the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman sent her a sharply worded list of questions Wednesday on constitutional law, and one of the nation's leading grass-roots evangelical organizations called for the withdrawal of her Supreme Court nomination.
Concerned Women for America, one of the nation's largest Christian advocacy groups, changed its "wait-and-see" position after reading speeches she gave in the early 1990s in which she supported, among other things, "the freedom of the individual woman's right to decide for herself whether she will have an abortion."
The speeches "indicate a radical feminist worldview, a penchant for judicial activism, race and sex quotas, a liberal characterization of the abortion debate and government spending, and an inability to articulate her positions clearly," the group said in a statement.
"We do not think there is anything she could say at her hearing that would satisfy our concerns," Jan LaRue, chief counsel of Concerned Women for America, said in an interview.

Granted she could have changed her views in the last 12 years. But even if we give her the benefit of the doubt, the fact remains she's not qualified to sit on the Supreme Court. Someone who can't articulate their positions clearly are not up to task of facing down judicial activism in our courts. That's all the reason we need to demand this nomination be withdrawn.

Ping list overload...
The pig headed approach of those who want to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic is pathetic.
Good job fb for all you did to support a true Conservative nominee for the SCOTUS.
And you guys too.
