Bush nominated someone who #1 passes the pro-life litmus test many on FR seem to hold dear; and #2 can be confirmed for reasons mentioned here and on other threads. Bush has delivered on a dream if you want a group on the SCOTUS that is inclined to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Thank you! I am sending this to all my Republican friends in the Great Northwest!
**A quiet public servant, who has toiled for years in veritable obscurity, immediately calls her pastor and asks him to pray for her.**
I'm on my way to getting enough information on her right there! Wow!!!
**Harriet Miers came creeping in under the radar like a Stealth bomber; a modest, unassuming, hard-working, experienced lawyer with strong moral, religious and constitutional convictions. Just what the boss was looking for.**
BTTT!
It appears that she will breeze through the confirmation hearings simply because she gives the Dummycrats no ammo at all and if they dare to try to make an issue of her faith they will loudly be denounced as establishing an unconstitutional religious test for a public office.
I have prayed that Bush is seeking God's advice and we shall see if this choice is one that will turn a few decisions around or maintain the status quo.

In Midcareer, a Turn to Faith to Fill a Void

Ms. Miers, born Roman Catholic, became an evangelical Christian and began identifying more with Republicans than with the Democrats who had long held sway over Texas politics. She joined the missions committee of her church, which is against legalized abortion, and friends and colleagues say she rarely looked back at her past as a Democrat.

Ms. Miers sometimes attended Mass at St. Jude Chapel in downtown Dallas, but before embracing evangelical Protestantism, her experience with religion was lukewarm and her attendance sporadic, Justice Hecht said.
We have much bigger fish to fry than wasting 2 years getting a SC Justice.

"As a Catholic myself, of course, I miss her and wish she’d come home to us. I can certainly imagine, though, how it happened, as the Catholic Church took a nosedive into immorality, corruption, relativism and liberalism after Vatican II."
Wow, hard hitting.
What about this article?

Now that he is no longer up for election or reelection, it's amazing how we're not getting the same kind of judges for the Supreme Court that we were getting for the circuit courts.
BTW, there is no President in my lifetime that I trusted or respected more than Ronald Reagan. He was a man of tremendous principle. Yet, the stealth strategy brought us Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy. Compare that to the Clinton strategy of finding known quantities and appointing them.
