WASHINGTON — President Bush will hold a press conference on Tuesday in the Rose Garden at 10:30 a.m. EDT.

The issue that most likely will dominate the event is Bush's Monday pick of White House counsel Harriet Miers (search) for Supreme Court justice. If confirmed, Miers would take the place of retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (search).

Dobson's statement was not enthusiastic. It was guarded optimism.

It wasn't even that. It was hope. He repeated his caveat twice, "Now I may be wrong..."

It makes one wonder if this is the kind of enthusiasm that people like Dobson will bring to the next election. At best, Bush exercised very poor political judgment yesterday. It is more likely, in my mind that it was a deliberate twist of the knife over the Gonzales rejection.

I agree.... he's saying she won't change. He's saying she shares his philosophy etc.....

This whole presser is to convince us of that.

[Keith]

you sir, are a jackass.

[DTogo]

Ah, the "A" word raises it's ugly head!

[1Old Pro]

She appears to have a great deal of common sense, and the ability to not suffer fools lightly. These are qualities I like.

After all is said and done all of this anxiety may be way overdone.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Reporterette asks the "A" question.

[Mo1]

There's the abortion question

[zook]

Ditto. I trust George Bush.

[BonnieJ]

The reality is most Americans ARE in the middle.

[bahblahbah]

Ugh, Bush shut up. You're killing her chances of getting confirmed.

[dead]

Have you ever discussed abortion with Miers?

Nicely avoided answering that question.

[NeoCaveman]

Heck, why not, worked out great with his judgement with Mel Martinez, Rafael Palmiero, Colin Powell, Paul O'Neil, Michael Brown, and my personal fave, Arlen Specter. Yes, W's shown great judgement with people, why not "Trust him"?

My personal favorite was when he looked into Vladimir Putin's soul.....

[kjam22]

3rd question... have you talked to her about abortion...

[Tanniker Smith]

Next question: Abortion, abortion, abortion.

No litmus test. Philosphy counts. No litmus test.

[OXENinFLA]

"..........I have no litmis test........."

This is how you DON'T answer a question!

[TTRR]

Is ABORTION the only issue in our country?

[McGruff]

This board is starting to look like DU.

Misunderestimated? I think maybe so.

More like a bunch of Chicken Littles.

[Tanniker Smith]

Now he's dodging the followup

[eleni121]

Good point and agreed.

Here comes the A question. The "intangibles" are what count. Judicial philosophy is what counts he says.

I agree fully.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

There are lots of conservatives out there more qualified than Harriet.
