The problem is that there is NO evidence to suggest this this.
This would be the first evangelical Christian on SCOTUS in about 70 years.

Not only that, there IS evidence to suggest she will NOT be to the right of Scalia & Thomas. Harry Ried's approval for starters.
From an Evangelical Christian point of view there is considerable EVIDENCE Miers will be to the right of Scalia and Thomas.
The lottery job meant she stepped down from her million dollar a year job for government pay - where do you see that in the career of any recent justice? By the way what Washington DC law firm has a women as senior partner? When did our favorite Thomas or Scalia run a business and made a payroll? /rant off
What an intellectually dishonest statement, all the more ironic coming from those who claim that she isn't intellectual enough.
There is plenty of evidence to suggest, the real complaint is that there isn't much evidence to prove or substantiate. You don't think the fact that she vetted and recommended so many excellent lower court nominees might suggest her leanings? Why would Pres. Bush, who knows who well, give her that task if her views were at odds with his? Why would he give her the WH Counsel's office job, where she deals with virtually every legal matter that passes through the WH, if her views didn't match his? That would be a whole lot of trust in delegation going on to pass off to someone with suspect views. Plenty of testimony from cohorts going back decades suggesting that she is strongly conservative, and various aspects of her life also suggest such.
If you want to claim that we don't are severely lacking solid evidence, fine. But to say that nothing suggests that she would be strongly conservative is hyperbole that ignore mounds of contradicting evidence put forth here in the last several days.
Just keep repeating "I do believe. I do believe. I do. I do. I do..." and hope somebody brought the magic pixie dust.
The evidence is that she has been the managing partner of a very large law firm.
She should be able to take this group of eggheads in hand with out too much trouble.
The problem is that there is NO evidence to suggest this.
Worse yet, since it sounds like she has done a mind meld with Bush, the evidence is that she's a bleeding heart big government type, which is definitely to the left of Scalia and Thomas. I doubt she will turn around and vote that the Federal expansion into education or medicare or disaster relief is now unconstitutional, having spent 10 years with the guy who did these things.
Remember the Bush motto: Watch what we do, not what we say.
"she may end up making Justices Scalia and Thomas look like a couple of card carrying lefties."
If she is still a virgin, which she may be since she has never been married, she may conceive a child by immaculate conception and give birth to the Messiah, the heavens will open, the world will rejoice in peace and the angles will sing.
The possibilities are infinite!
