And just what does this statement make you?
I support the Meir's nomination because she is a person with integrity. Nothing more.
Now I'm a "DU type"? You are stereo typing Meirs supporters as being some soft right leaning liberal. Nothing could be further from the truth, and by suggesting such a thing makes you what?
It makes you a DECIEVER,(and a hypocrite) the very thing you accuse Miers supporters of.
I will wait until the hearings and then decide what I think based upon what She says in answer to real questions, not based on media trash, and opinions people have who know nothing about her.
Al this BS about what she did while she was developing as a person, 20 years ago, 30 years ago and in between does not mean that's what she is today. People live learn grow, and change. It's what she is today that I am concerned with, and She seems to be a fine, upstanding person.
Ultimately, it's not OUR decision anyways, it's in the hands of a bunch of idiots who other idiots elected to sit in the senate. What worries me more, is that this unqualified collection of buffoons will either elect, or not elect her to the bench, and that their decission will not be based on what's good, what's truth, and what is good for the Nation, but on what's good for their political career.
Well, she was a starry-eyed teenager of 43 when she gave $1,000 to ALGORE. Her formative years? I don't think so. I hope she is a true convert, but the fact of that donation just sends shivers up and down my spine.
It doesn't say anything about me, I'm not pro-Miers.

Miers might be a lot of things but I don't see the "integrity". She was a radical Democrat when Bush came a knocking at her door.

I never said you are a "DU type", most of the pro-Miers arguers are and you are including yourself with the "most". Don't you see that most of the arguments coming from the pro-Miers people are illogical Democrat like arguments? I know of pro-Miers people on FR who aren't DU types but they are in the minority.
I've seen anti-Miers arguments that are illogical and I step in and expose these arguments as such, but such arguments are rare. If you consider yourself as typical pro-Miers then you undermine your own credibility.

Those who know her admit that they don't know where she stands. A reporter once asked her something like, "what do people say about you behind your back"...she replied something like "they don't know where I stand on anything". I won't trust her answers during the hearings.

You will need to consider everything and ask yourself: "Would I bet the existence of the Republican Party that this nominee is not another Souter?".

Which is why they must be pressured to do the right thing.
