This is very frustrating. I am quite disappointed at the people who are so quick to jump on this and attack Bush and other conservatives. I mean, the Judges that the complainers which Bush had picked, have their poitions they have now in large part because of Miers input. WHY is that so hard for so many here to process??? The woman thought Roberts was not conservative enough in the selection process she was pivotal in a couple months ago. Does that not say something??? I've really had my fill of this crap. I don't like Bush's policy on border control. I don't like all the nice nice crap with liberals and not fighting a good fight. But all I've seen today makes it irrational to oppose Miers based on what is known as FACT right now. And it's really getting old. When a few votes have been taken and Miers and Roberts have voted with Thomas and Scalia, as I believe they will, I will definitely bring up all this crap today. I wonder how many freepers with torches held high will admit they jumped the gun and were really overboard on their concerns.
Like you I am going to be watching to see which torch-bearers have the courage to admit they overreacted. It is disappointing to see some of our icons clearly unable to think outside their own boxes.
Here is President Bush with Miers at his ranch. I think he knew a while ago that he would be submitting her name.
