I don't understand why this makes Hewitt a hypocrite. His first choice for the seat was Luttig. Hewitt never would have chosen Miers if he were president.

Nevertheless, even though Hewitt didn't get the nominee he wanted, he honestly believes it is better to get Miers on the court than to fight this appointment.

I disagree with Hewitt on this point, but I don't hate him for differing in opinion. It's odd to see the glee some posters show in attacking conservatives. Disagreement is okay; we allow it in conservatism.

Nice point. You said it better than I ever could. :)

I concur fully with what you have said.

Very good point. We dishonor ourselves in smearing other well-meaning conservatives and being intolerant of disagreement.
