One can endlessly debate whether she'd have voted to overturn that decision, but there's little doubt that even if she did it wouldn't be for the correct reasons.

Roe is just a symptom.

Hey, people are still discussing Bork's view of the 2nd amendment and such.
It is not moot when you consider this is something we cannot allow our selves to get deceived on with the next pick.

As it stands now, discussing Meirs is akin to Quixote tilting at windmills.

Bit of a moot point, eh?

The reality is - what does it matter now.

The pro-Miers bloggers are already saying, "If X bad ruling is made, it's the anti-Miers side's fault, because Miers MAY have voted the right way on X." So, it continues to be relevant to provide evidence to the contrary.

Ironic though, that her name's a homophone for "mire." Her nomination got mired (Miered) down and never gained momentum.


It's like an ice cream man named Cone.

The fact she was childless bothered me a little on the Roe issue...

Harriet Miers is a fine woman and public servant. Let's leave her alone now.

A lot of her remaining supporters will try to say "yeah, but she would have overturned Roe!"

That dog won't hunt. The 1993 speech trumps current speculation.

If Cone's first name is Waffle, he and I could be bestest friends!
