"If the prez wants her and believes in her along the with likes of her own pastor, Dr. Dobson, Jay Sekulow and others, Miers sounds good to me. In the last decades, judicial restraint is really required."
What is the basis for your apparent belief that Miers has adopted the judicial restraint philosophy? Personally, I've read everything I can find about her background and don't see any evidence of it whatsoever. To me, being asked to believe it because Bush and others "vouch" for her is vastly insufficient given the importance of the nomination and the long list of names of people who have proven their adherence to judicial restraint. I think this nomination was profoundly misguided.
"I think people are making too much of this. Plenty of Supreme Court nominees have had to withdraw or been defeated because of lack of support within the President's party."
I'm with you. I don't claim to know Bush's brain, but I would be stunned if he withdrew her nomination. (of course I'm stunned that he nominated her in the first place...) If he does, it will be due to opposition within the republican ranks over her qualifications, not this nonsense.
