Frankly, given Ms. Miers purported loyalty to the President, she should have refused the appointment, knowing that his base would be enraged, and that she was too old.

I'm as mad as her as I am at him.

That is the most vacuous statement I've read thus far.

Label my opinion any way you like, but many conservative commentators have made the same point: Miers should have recused herself from consideration.

A political party should stand for something. I am much more concerned about the future of the country than placating the left or the newsmedia.

I know all the arguments in favor of Ms. Miers appointment: we get the results without the controversy. The problem is that is that this approach does nothing to educate the American people or advance the conservative cause for decades to come.

I am disappointed, and find the Administration's approach shameful.
