I am quoted in this editorial by the Macon Telegraph re: the Miers nomination:

President George W. Bush, in nominating his White House counsel, Harriet Miers, to fill the seat on the Supreme Court left vacant by Sandra Day O'Connor, has thrown a wrench at some of his staunch supporters. In the words of Steve Dillard, who runs the conservative blog Southern Appeal (http://southernappeal.blogspot.com/ ), the president's choice of Miers was "Un-freakin'-believable."

Dillard, a local attorney and member of the Federalist Society went on to say, "I can't help but feel as though the president and the Republican Party are wimping out in refusing to have a national debate on the importance of judicial restraint, originalism, textualism, federalism, etc."
