She was my first choice to begin with. If you look back, you won't find my screen name on very many of the Meirs nomination threads. I was willing to wait to the hearings and see what she had to say so I stayed out of the fight. One reason was that this nomination made no sense and wasn't going to spend time getting in a fight.

You do all remember how we got Janet Reno? They kept sending up nominations until they got who Hillary wanted to start.

That said, Janice Rogers Brown was my #1 choice and is still my #1 choice.

Thanks. If that's your choice, I need to learn more about her.

You're right that there is a degree of risk in what has occurred.

But the risks of an unknown quantity like Miss Miers being on the court for decades outweighed the risks of getting someone worse, I think.
