This is all I have to say on this today. Miers has been instrumental in picking ALL of Bush's judicial picks the past five years. She helped pick Luddig and Pryor and Brown and Olsen and other VERY conservative judges. So why isn't she good enough to be one of them when she helped picking them? She said a couple months ago that she didn't think Roberts was conservative enough, and given how Roberts performed that means she's right of Roberts which is VERY conservative. So many dedicated conservatives have come out backing her, and not one has come out against her. That speaks for itself. I just don't understand how so many knee jerkers here who wish the pick had been Pryor or Luddig or Owens, think one of the people who was instrumental in picking those hard line conservatives, isn't good enough to be a SCJ herself. That defies all logic. I think there will be quite a number of nay saying "conservatives" who have gone out of their way to want to crucify this woman and Bush without the benefit of facts will be eating crow in a few months when they realize that Miers, and Roberts for that matter, have brought hte SCOTUS to the right, where it belongs, enforcing the Constitution, not redefining it as they wish it read.
Allen, your comments are the same ones I've been making on other threads.
The issue that got to me was seeing the Malkins and Levins of the world leading the angry mob to the edge of the cliff.
Malkin went as far as to use incorrect information on her blog, which makes her as guilty as any liberal MSM for not bothering to verify before repeating bad information. This is something we complain about the lefties doing, but when it is one of our own, it's worse.
