It's also beside the point. Miers is gone.

Now you're just showing off.

I seem to recall a case about beating a dead horse. Glad that Miers is out of the picture...but the focus now is whether Bush will nominate another lib (Gonzales) or a conservative (Brown, McConnell, Luttig et al.).

True.

This thread is very silly and just a touch vindictive.

Thankfully, we'll never need to find out.

Nope. It's in "News/Activism."

He will not nominate Gonzales. If "executive privilege" over documents was a problem with Miers, it will be a problem-squared with Gonzales.

Fortunately, her potential votes are no longer relevant.

Who gives a flying frick how she would have voted! She was a OUIJI board pick and only the Ouiji board would have told her how to vote.

Actually I wrote it last night, but it was too late to post it, so I thought I'd put it off until today. I had put enough research into it that I felt it was worth discussion even after her withdrawal, so I changed a few future tenses to past tense, and posted.

There was a lot of debate, and there was never any consensus on the issue of Miers v. Roe. A lot of her remaining supporters will try to say "yeah, but she would have overturned Roe!"

So I wanted to address that still, as I believe I have solid evidence that she never was willing to.

This is what is known as a moot point.
