How do you know this is "CLEARLY" a horrible decision? Do you know Miers? Have you ever spoken to her? Large numbers of proven conservatives have already come out backing her up, including the very conservative church she's been a member of for many years, and Jay Sekulo. Are you somehow smarter than all of them and know things about her than they do, when they know her, and you don't?
God there is WAY too much thinking being done with emotion in this today. I'm just about out the door till rationality returns to more of the posts here.
Yes, it will settle down. At least I haven't seen the post questioning whether FR can survive the nomination of Harriet Miers yet.
