Miers Is No Roberts

Unlike the Roberts nomination, conservatives and democrats should both be extremely worried. " Miers " is no judge, not a political loyalist (supported Gore and Clinton then worked for Bush), and is a woman who has yet to commit on the abortion issue. Is it relevant that she attended a second tier law school (Southern Methodist University)? Certainly, as it challenges her intellectual qualifications.

Her nomination, if perused, will be the real determinant in which way the court swings for the next few decades.

"The President's nomination of Miers is a betrayal of the conservative, pro-family voters whose support put Bush in the White House in both the 2000 and 2004 elections and who were promised Supreme Court appointments in the mold of Thomas and Scalia. Instead we were given 'stealth nominees,' who have never ruled on controversial issues, more in the mold of the disastrous choice of David Souter by this President's father.

"When there are so many proven judges in the mix, it is unacceptable this President has appointed a political crony with no conservative credentials. This attempt at 'Bush Packing' the Supreme Court must not be allowed to pass the Senate and we will forcefully oppose this nomination."

FALLS CHURCH, Va., Oct. 3 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Public Advocate President Eugene Delgaudio has issued the following statement following the appointment of Harriet Miers to serve on the Supreme Court.
