As far as I remember, Harriet Myers was selected by your hero George W. Bush, not Dan Coats.

Let's get something straight right here, bub, George W. Bush is no hero of mine. While I strongly supported him after 9/11 and during the Iraq War, up until he started muddling it by sucking up to the Saudis and Palestinians, I was harshly critical of his big spending, pro-illegal alien domestic policies, as my posting history from that period will attest.

As far as Myers goes, Coats embraced her selection and enthusiastically shopped her around the Senate before taking the bad news bad to Bush that she was toast. Out of that fiasco, Bush gave us two real shining stars, SCOTUS Justices Roberts and Alito. Otherwise, Bush's domestic legacy is a joke. So trying to throw him in my face will get you no where fast.

Regarding Dan Coats and Harriet Myers, I believe that Dan Coats was just doing Bush a favor . . he had no role whatsoever in selecting Harriet Myers for the Supreme Court .
