That's absurd. How can you say that?!?
1) There's no such indications let alone "all"
2) We only have the 'word' of Dubya who as of late is acting like beat rented mule. He can't apologize fast or often bough to the freaking dems for FEMA doing absolutely NOTHING wrong prior, during or after Katrina.
3) And then for Dubya to say - and with a straight face no less, that she was the most qualified? If he really thinks that he needs mental help.
4) What's worse is that Harry Reid PICKED her.
Ergo, this was nothing but complete capitulation to the left. So he might as well resign NOW because he will get squat passed in Congress. He can go play golf for three years.
I don't know Harriet Miers. I suspect no one on this thread knows her. Whichever side you take on her nomination, it is NOT based upon your knowledge of what she will or will not do on the bench.
Those who support the nomination are willing to trust the president, who has done very well with his judicial nominations to date, and who certainly does not want to knowingly put a liberal on the bench.
My impression (and Rush Limbaugh said this explicitly on his show today) is that many conservatives don't want so much a conservative vote on the Supreme Court as an opportunity to: enact the nuclear/constitutional option; rub the dems' nose in it because Bush won; put one of its "known quantities" such as Janice Brown or another conservative "elite" on the bench. This last I sense is, as much as anything else, a desire to save face for not anticipating that Miers' nomination would happen, and to oppose anyone who is not an Ivy leaguer.
As for me, if I can be assured that Miers will sign on to Roberts' opinions, I will take her gladly, and the conservative majority that follows. I don't care about panache on the bench, I just want the decisions to be right.
