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.

That to me, is the major concern...Maybe I misunderstand the process but it seems to me that if H Miers comes out in the hearings as way too liberal for many of the Republicans, the liberal Repubs as well as all the Dems will vote her into the court...The liberals have the majority...

I remember the Roberts fight on FR and it was just as vicious (although it was the usual suspects leading the opposition, but there were plenty of "angry" conservatives). Then he made that statement about the "little guy" and all the nay-sayers on FR just shut up.

I think the nay-sayers don't want Miers to speak because they don't want to have the same moment.
