Miers has a fine record and certainly meets any qualification posed by the Constitution.
I stick to the Constitution not some ultra ultra imagination.
"Miers has a fine record and certainly meets any qualification posed by the Constitution."
Great, half the people on here (base voters all) expect more than the minimum requirement out of a SCOTUS associate justice from a Republican president. Now believe me, they're not going to suddenly start diminishing their expectations and fall in love with the wisdom of the pick. That is short of discovering Miers wrote several distinguished volumes on natural rights and constitutional law under a pen name. If the WH had an argument that would content the discontented among us, we'd have heard it by now.
So in light of that, what are you going to do about it? The Bush administration's position is to win the argument at all cost. I don't think this is a remotely sensible course for the administration to take. I don't mean to hammer you, but really the political situation relative to the division of the base, is now critically more important than the nominee herself. But this is a foreign notion to most Miers advocates. They want to fight their brothers and win the day for Bush. I and others on the other hand, want to win the 2006 election over the Democrats.
