Miers Poll of Conservative BloggersJohn Hawkins
put up a poll he took of conservative bloggers (including your host) on the issue of Harriet Miers. In the interests of transparency, I'll mention that my answers were that Miers was a so-so pick, that it did not change my view of George Bush, that he should continue to support Miers and that Republican Senators should vote to confirm her.
I'd just clarify that I thought she was a so-so pick because of the political reaction, which should have been anticipated. And the vote to confirm of course assumes that nothing significantly negative comes out in the hearings. If she suddenly talks about the living, breathing Constitution, and the need to examine legislative trends and foreign judicial decisions, then all bets are off.
Essentially all my answers were based on politics, not on Miers herself as a candidate for the Supreme Court.
