"He ran on cutting taxes, privatizing Social Security, school vouchers, and against Affirmative Action"
Okay, so dont have privatized Social Security but we do have a huge newdrug entitlement;
we dont have school vouchers but we have "NO Child Left Behind", a huge Federal mandate that our state GOP school official points out is *unconstitutional* ("Please tell me where in the constitution is says Congress can tell states how to run education?").
We dont have an end to affirmative action, we have SCOTUS upholding it for U of Michigan with Bush white house agreeing to that.
We had a promise of Thomas/Scalia-type picks and now the reality of ... Roberts (good) ... and Miers.
Dont you see why some of us are concerned?!?
No, I don't. Not at all.
Because for the last 5 years, Dubya has been batting .1000 on judicial nominations (with Miers's assistance by the way). You are making trouble for yourself in worrying about this now. Furthermore, those who are attacking this *fully qualified* nominee, are looking hypocritical since in the past they have said judicial nominations are the President's choice and they should get a fair hearing and an up or down vote.
