Initial reaction from conservatives was positive.

This woman is, at best, a political hack, at worst, a Democrat operative.

This is terrible news.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had urged the president to consider Miers, according to several officials familiar with Bush's consultations with Congress.

Well, a caller on NPR was very disturbed at the nomination. She didn't like the fact that the President said that Miers had a strong sense of right and wrong. Too much morality, she said. These people are nuts.

Tammy Bruce on FOX news just said that she's afraid that Bush has morphed into a "Jimmy Carter". Ouch!

"She has been a forceful advocate of conservative legal principles and judicial restraint throughout her career," said Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society.

What does he base this on?

That is complete nonsense. The Federalist Society (which knows more of these matters than you) is supportive.

You can bet he has more substantial reasons than the Chronic Antis here who just pull their opinions outta their A$$es when it is not one of their favorites.

Supposedly, she was instrumental in choosing people for Bush to nominate to the various courts, including Owen, Brown, Roberts, etc. If this is the case, she's made good solid picks and may be a good solid pick herself. We'll see.

I'll only be convinced when I see her answers at the hearings, as I was with Roberts.
