Miss Marple,

You seem to be a reasonable enough person. So, let me ask you - do you honestly think something is going to come out at the hearings? Any guarantee that Miers will not pull a "Ginsburg" and say that her judicial rulings are not subject to prior discussion (and she has the right to do that)? Right now, most Miers supporters base their support on these arguments:

“She’s pro-life! I think…”

“She’s an evangelical Christian!” (though other evangelicals have pointed out that her beliefs did not prevent her from serving on the lottery commission!!!)

“Bush is the President and gets to pick. We’re not, so we don’t!”

“I trust Bush no matter what the evidence shows!”

This lady has a flip-flopping record in her career that rivals some other politicians we know. What is the guarantee that she won't pull a Souter or a Kennedy? Why couldn't Pres. Bush select a true conservative? Is it a case of "Like father, like son"? I'm afraid so......now that he has been re-elected, he doesn't care for his base anymore.

Well, first of all she doesn't have judicial rulings. Secondly, yes I do think things will come out, whether pro or con.

We will get to hear her judicial philosphy in her own words. I think everyone felt more confident in Roberts after hearing his ideas on how the court should work, and his explanation of how he felt the Constitution should be the deciding factor, not whether it was the little guy or the big guy.

I intend to watch those hearings intently. If she is not a good candidate, it will be shown.
