Conservatives Confront Bush Aides
Anger Over Nomination of Miers Boils Over During Private Meetings

The conservative uprising against President Bush escalated yesterday as Republican activists angry over his nomination of White House counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court confronted the president's envoys during a pair of tense closed-door meetings.

A day after Bush publicly beseeched skeptical supporters to trust his judgment on Miers, a succession of prominent conservative leaders told his representatives that they did not. Over the course of several hours of sometimes testy exchanges, the dissenters complained that Miers was an unknown quantity with a thin résumé and that her selection -- Bush called her "the best person I could find" -- was a betrayal of years of struggle to move the court to the right.

I find it very funny that anyone thought that bush actually gave a shit about them! But, even odder is that they don't trust him to nominate someone who shares their views, since, overall, bush does share them. Does anyone really think that she would be pro-gay (whatever her personal leanings) or pro-abortion? There is no way that bush would nominate someone who he didn't know shared his views on these subjects. Just not possible!
As others have said, you have to wonder if this is just a big put-on by the conservatives to throw off the liberals and then Miers will be shunted aside and bush will nominate a true ultra-wacko like the cons want. I feel that i have to support her just because they are so against her!
My fave quote of this all is bush's "the best person i could find" - as if he just looked around and she was standing there and no one else was hanging out, so she got it!
