On the left, the National Organization for Women can only guess
what it doesn't know:
Miers' potential as a justice is unknown at this point.... It
remains to be seen where Miers stands on those and virtually every
other issue. She has no paper trail and has never served as a judge
- quite simply, her future conduct on the Court may be impossible
to determine. Should the Senate confirm someone to a lifetime
appointment with so little information? We think not. NOW urges the
Senate to ask tough questions, insist on answers, and refuse to
confirm this nomination unless they can establish that Miers
supports the fundamental rights of women.
Tough questions? Not exactly scathing. And from the right, the
Family Research Council is holding fire after waiting most of the
day to issue a release:
...However, our lack of knowledge about Harriet Miers,
and the absence of a record on the bench, give us insufficient
information from which to assess whether or not she is indeed in
that [Scalia and Thomas] mold.
In the days to come, Harriet Miers will have the chance to
demonstrate such a philosophy. We will be watching closely as the
confirmation process begins, and we urge American families to wait
and see if the confidence we have always placed in the President's
commitment is justified by this selection.
In other words, it may not be as bad as you think. James Taranto
has a similar
take: "Glenn
Reynolds declares himself 'underwhelmed,' and that pretty well
captures our feeling too. We hope we're proved wrong -- but we hate
it when we have to say that."
It was a very nice idea! Just wanna say thank you for the
