A handful at FR have opposed Miers nomination since the moment she got it. My own personal impression has been that their impetus was religious affiliation and little else.

Nope, not at all. It was her lack of proven constructionist credentials.

I was opposed to her almost immediately because she had so little experience doing any deep legal "wrangling". WE need someone who has had to reason out constitutional problems and is a strict constructionist. From what I read of Meirs, she was neither.

Back that up with cites, or take it back.

No, I was againsy her due to her lack of experience in constitutional law, the fact that not one person could vouch for her Conservative views, and the constant flow of info suggesting she was not pro-life. Of course those supporting her said she went to church and wait for the hearings.
