Precisely. Near the end, I was very much "anti-Miers". This nominee by all indications is something to rally around the President with.
I think only a very very very small minority in FR (other than the DU trolls) were against Miers just because they hated Bush. Most of us wanted the President to do better.
This is the difference between us and the lockstep marching DU folk -- when our "guy/gal" does something we don't agree with we let it be known. Otherwise you end up with the hypocricy that was the NOW supporting Clinton during his many scandals involving women. He's a pig, but he's their pig.
I don't think conservatives operate on that idiotic level thankfully.
That was my thinking. Now there's someone to rally behind. I intend to do some letter writing on this one.
I was disappointed in his pick of Miers. I'm pleased with Alito. My support for him remains unchanged through all of it.
