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).

Bush One didn't know Souter. Bush Two knows Miers quite well.
It is for liberals. It's how those pity racists keep their voting blocs on the plantation.
More like Islamofacists drama queens
Waiting for the screaming, breathless calls to Mohammad and Allah
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only major ideological credential this woman has is that she is staunchly pro-life. This is the one evident thing from her career.
There are lots of conservatives out there more qualified than Harriet.
__________________________________________________________
"Qualified" is a broad and vague term. According to whom? The President's knowledge of this woman's abilities and temperament is good enough for me.
God forbid you say you trust Bush and his nominee or you're immediately stoned to death for being a Bushbot.
Excellent question.
Bravo! The look on his face during his opening statement said plenty too.
5th question... what's so conservative about the big budget that you preside over......
Will the Conservatives in the Senate vote for her?
Terry Moran, conservative fiscal watchdog.
What ammunition has he given the liberals with his answers?
"He has the GALL to say that she is the MOST qualified. Sheesh, what a maroon."
Not to mention all of his blathering about how much he respects "character" - oh yeah, GWB? Then why cozy up to Clinton and Kennedy?
Ugh. This is Bush at his absolute worst. Is there anyone out there who didn't feel good about this nomination that now feels assured and better about it? Not me, that's for sure. "Trust me" doesn't cut it.
I hear you, but Souter wasn't GHWB's personal attorney for 10 years.
Were at war???
They are radio talks show hosts not omnipotent beings.
I have actually looked at the evidence and didn't have a hissy fit because my favorite rock star judge didn't get nominated.
Personally, I would rather see those we've already elected do the jobs we've elected them to do. I don't want to "wait 'till next year" any more. And this goes for much more than the Supreme Court.
More than anything, he, and we, want a conservative, a constructionist.
Miers doesn't have an Ivy League ego...she's going to appreciate the opportunity. She knows EXACTLY what Bush wants in a SCJ and has promised it to him.
I am a HARDCORE conservative. Bush was not "brilliant" on this pick. He used good, old-fashioned common sense and got the Dims to go along.
On second thought...maybe it brilliant!
Does that mean that W has looked into Harriet's soul? Dane, are you sippin' the sauce again?
Amen.
