[[We have a whole contingent of Fundamentalist identity politics people who would have taken a Fundamentalist moderate with a crappy resume over a Catholic conservative with a great resume.]]

Flawed reasoning, Rodney. You use an assumption, rather than fact, that Miers was/is a fundamentalist moderate, and compound your error by extending that assumption to a preference of your assumption over another of your assumptions. Is it your interest to keep trying to foster a divide ?

So which assumption do you disagree with?

Anyway, do you deny that people are upset that another Catholic was nominated?

You might have a point there. Miers likely would have gotten on the court and voted like David Souter on most issues.

But, how in world can any pro-Miers person not acknowledge that Samuel Alito in an infinitely better choice for Supreme Court than Miers would have been? I guess pride wouldn't allow such admissions. But, conservatives are far better off with a known originalist with clear Constitution philosophy on the bench than Miers.
