Harriet Miers has an ardent supporter in Mr. Scully who knows her well. Other conservatives will argue this is merely a 'puff piece' sponsored by the White House. I note the Democrats are unusually silent on this nomination as they let the Republicans battle among themselves. Smart move for now.
I will be interested to see how she stands up in the Senate Judiciary hearings and whether any of them will make her faith an issue. She would be hard-pressed to support abortion.
"Whatever his reasons, what America got is a nominee of enormous legal ability and ferocious integrity, and in the bargain a gracious Christian woman only more qualified for her new role because she would never have sought it for herself. And in a few years, when the same critics we hear now are extolling the clarity, consistency and perhaps even the 'brilliance' of judicial opinions, that's when you'll know it's the Miers court."
