"If she is confirmed and if her court opinions turn out, for example, to confirm her to be a closet feminist or advocate of affirmative action, to chose only one of her likely predelictions the damage will not be repaired."

On the other hand, if, as I and the President think likely, Miers turns out to be a reliably conservative vote on the Supreme Court, conservatives who overreacted will have been shown to be fools of little faith.

So why don't sit back, watch the hearings and see what happens rather than going off half-cocked with some stupid idea like a petition calling on the President to withdraw her name?

Why call people fools because of their concerns...If you are misguided and proved wrong I would not call you a fool. This kind of rhetoric moves me to think this whole debate Bush has created by nominating this unknown has done more damage than nominating a true conservative and waging the ensuing battles..At least we all would have been closer to being on the same page, and our cause would have been righteous..Calling fellow conservatives fools is beneath a true FReeper.. You should be ashamed of yourself. As should Bush.
