I don't think that too many people around here are going to be upset with Miers' opinions, so why does everyone have their panties in a wad?

#1. They wanted a knock down drag out battle. It's not about Miers, it's about the smackdown they wanted to deliver.

#2. There are some people who have bought into the liberal spin. They believe you must have experience as a judge and an impressive law school degree before you can even begin to understand the meaning of the simple words in the Constitution. I guess they don't realize THEY are part of the problem and Miers just might be part of the solution.

Can you tell me which rights are currently protected under the doctrine of substantive due process and those protected under the doctrine of procedural due process? When there is a question about the legitimacy of presidential power in the absense of explicit constitutional authority, when might the president act and when must he defer to congress?

These are basic constitutional principles taught in any first year conlaw class. Can you explain them?
