Miers' Judicial Philsophy
By Marshall Manson Posted in SCOTUS — Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »
A great deal of emphasis is being placed on Ms. Miers statement this morning from the Oval Office. In particular, a statement that may reflect her judicial philosophy:
“The wisdom of those who drafted our constitution and conceived our nation as functioning with three strong and independent branches have proven truly remarkable.
"It is the responsibility of every generation to be true to the founders' vision of the proper role of the courts and our society. If confirmed, I recognize that I will have a tremendous responsibility to keep our judicial system strong and to help ensure that the courts meet their obligations to strictly apply the laws and the constitution.�
UPDATE: Here's the transcript of the remarks from the announcement.
