As I said previously, I very much hope that hearings on the Miers nomination will occur pronto. She deserves a chance. Put the revolution on hold.

I'd like to find out if she's willing to strike down statutes that are clearly consistent with the Constitution, merely because of some misplaced reverence for stare decisis. And, I'd like to know if the nominee agrees or disagrees with Justices Scalia and Thomas that the notion of “substantive due process� is a load of bull.

Incidentally, regarding the tiny little mere fact that she once donated to an Al Gore Campaign back in the 1980s, big deal. It was not clear back then how obnoxious Gore actually is. Like it or not, he was one of the very few politicians who was standing up to at least give lip service to the idea of protecting the Earth for future generations. Or, do you WANT the arctic to melt and for massive numbers of God's creatures to go extinct?

Anyway, on Miers, let's at least try to express our thoughts with good spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Okay? AND GIVE HER A CHANCE.
