Have to say, this is an excellent move if one wants to avoid the yack fest of the hearings scrutinizing her legal writings and those decisions made from the bench (since she was not a judge).
That is not to say she will not have writings to review but this really does put a snag in things should folks have wanted feisty hearings.
OK, OK, one can hope, we are dealing with some really unfair minded democrats.
Bush consulting with 80 senators says something for this nomonee.

All I can say is that this is a very disappointing nomination.

Miers, 60....
This is the biggest problem with her. She's not going to be on the Court very long.

How so? I can't find too much about her, so I have nothing to really go by.

The AP says,
Miers is leading the White House effort to help Bush choose a nominee to the Supreme Court.
Yikes.

I have to say that both President Bush and Harriet said everything possible to make her confirmation near impossible. Why? Looks like a lot of Democrats are going to be forced to publicly smear a woman.

I must have missed the amendment that gave the Senate the authority to appoint justices.

What Bush needed was a monster battle in the Senate, ending the nuclear option, not a stealth nominee.
If he wanted to get the base behind him and energized before 2006, he should have picked a strict constructionist, he has not done that here.
Its been a bad few months for the President and he had a chance set the news agenda and get all that crap off the tv for a while.
There are charges of cronyism going around about Brown over at FEMA and the INS director, and he goes and picks his personal lawyer? What was he thinking?
At best Miers maintains the balance of the Court, and that is best case scenario.
I was promised Scalias and Thomases when I put down thousands of dollars and numerous hours for this man to be President. I was satifisfied with Roberts, but Miers is bush league.
Didn't he learn from his father's mistake on Souter?

She also became the first female president of the Dallas Bar Association in 1985 and was the first woman elected president of the Texas Bar Association in 1992. No, thank you. I'm not hopeful of anyone who has such involvement with the ABA.

She's not going to be on the Court very long. For many here, based on how they have responded to this, that may not be a bad thing.

She apparently was on the board of Exodus Ministries, the convert-the-homos group.

I suppose it is a ridiculous notion to hope that the majority of senators REJECT her because she doesn't make the grade, conservative that is.
Perhaps this is a setback but can only help us in the next election cycle in selecting conservatives over RINOs.

Since he was raised as a one world socialist he probabaly doesn't think that Souter was a mistake.

She apparently was on the board of Exodus Ministries, the convert-the-homos group. Heard on Bill Bennett's show. It might *not* be the same Exodus Ministries (isn't that Exodus International). Bush apparently mentioned that work in his speech.
