Here's one vote for hearings sooner rather than later. Let's not drag this out like last time. And then, during the hearings, perhaps we'll find out if the nominee is willing to strike down statutes that are clearly consistent with the Constitution, merely because of some misplaced reverence for stare decisis. And, we'll find out if the nominee agrees or disagrees with Justices Scalia and Thomas that the notion of "substantive due process" is a load of c**p.

Anyway, sincere congratulations to Ms. Miers. She'd certainly diversify the Court. But I'd rather have a nice homogeneous Court that does the right thing. If we can have both, so much the better.

UPDATE: On a humorous note, don't miss this blog set up by someone claiming to be Judge Luttig. Hat Tip: UTR.
