You may not trust the President to know her and has maybe misread her ideology over the years but your comparison isn't nothing more than a red herring which I assume you wanted it to be.

Your response impugns my motives, and needlessly personalizes the discussion. Those habits aren't good for civil discussion on freerepublic.

The scars of the Souter nomination (and others) run deep among many conservatives, that's the only point of my post. If you wish to demonize everyone with this fear, that is your choice.

Sorry I hit a button.... but the comparison of Souter and what X41 knew of him and Ms Miers and what President Bush knows of her aren't even in the same universe much less same ball park. Thus to use that as a comparison is pointless unless there is a motive for such a fallacious comparison or a belief that the President is lying. JMO and obviously yours differs.
