"I'm going to repeat for the very last time that I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO OBJECTED TO THIS NOMINATION. What I have had problems with are the ruthless attacks on her person and her character, and on the President as well."

That is fair. But most who opposed her were not in that category. It is difficult to object to a nominee because in comparison to other candidates her Judicial, Constitutional, and Conservative credentials are lacking, without the appearance of making personal attacks.

I have made it very clear from the beginning, and have never said otherwise, that the problem I had was with people who were vicious, and not with people who questioned her qualifications.

I have never said anything that would make anyone think otherwise.

I have asked people repeatedly to stick to the issues and not attack the President's, or in this case, Miers' character.

There are hundreds of us who feel that way. Discussion is one thing. Vicious attacks are quite another.

All I said from the beginning is.........let's let her have her hearing and make an informed decision when she does. It didn't happen, and for that, I am not pleased. However, I am relieved that this is over, and taking a breath before the same nasty minority begins its attack on whomever the President chooses next.........because it WILL happen.
