President Bush said yesterday gezegde

en President Bush said yesterday that it was appropriate for the White House to invoke Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers's religion in making the case for her to skeptical conservatives, triggering a debate over what role, if any, her evangelical faith should play in the confirmation battle.

en After days of White House winks implying that Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers would be a reliable conservative vote because she is a devout Christian evangelical, President George W. Bush himself yesterday suggested that he picked her in part because of her faith.

en I do not know Harriet Miers. I do know President Bush and his commitment to a federal judiciary that lives within its constitutional assignment and interprets the law and doesn't write it from the bench, ... If the president trusts Harriet Miers to fulfill his campaign promises to the American people, then I trust Harriet Miers until I am given compelling evidence to the contrary.

en Senate leaders warned President George W. Bush on Wednesday that his next nominee to the Supreme Court will likely face a far more contentious confirmation battle than John Roberts, who is poised to become U.S. chief justice.

en The focus will soon shift to President Bush's next appointee to the high court. We have no doubt that President Bush will select a nominee who embraces his judicial philosophy of interpreting the Constitution - not legislating from the bench. The political dynamics suggest that the confirmation process for the next nominee will be much more contentious. We hope that isn't the case, but are certainly prepared to move quickly and aggressively to ensure that the next nominee gets a fair hearing and a prompt vote in the Senate.

en [Marvin Olasky, a conservative Christian writer who has been a strong Bush supporter, explained his sympathy for Miers.] Maybe it's the judicial implications of her evangelical faith, unseen on the court in recent decades, ... Friends who know Miers well testify to her internal compass that includes a needle pointed toward Christ.

en This confirmation is also a victory for the nominee, President Bush, and, most of all, the U.S. Senate. Finally, it is a victory for the U.S. Supreme Court which will be led into the 21st century by a brilliant, principled Chief Justice.

en The reaction of many conservatives today will be that the president has made possibly the most unqualified choice since Abe Fortas who had been the president's lawyer. The nomination of a nominee with no judicial record is a significant failure for the advisers that the White House gathered around it. However, the president deserves the benefit of a doubt, the nominee deserves the benefit of hearings, and every nominee deserves an up or down vote.

en [Sept. 13, 2005 | WASHINGTON -- At some point in August, Judge John G. Roberts Jr., President Bush's nominee to head the U.S. Supreme Court, appears to have found time to tan. He entered the Russell Caucus Room Monday for the first day of his confirmation hearing with his face glowing in an even bronze tone, a striking feature in a room of uniformly pasty white men and women. His skin contrasted with his starched white collar, his charcoal suit and his cherry-red power tie. It made his smile gleam.] You are obviously very talented, ... And you also look healthy.

en Let me make this clear: I didn't want a fight. What I wanted from President Bush was a nominee about whom, win or lose, we could all be proud. Instead, turning to His Girl Harriet, President Bush for once thought small. And that means, on this one President Bush is already a loser.

en President George H. W. Bush didn't know David Souter from Adam's cat until he was introduced to him by John Sununu. This president has known Harriet Miers for 15 years, has worked closely with her.

en As White House Counsel, Harriet Miers served as the key legal advisor on controversial legislative matters. Therefore, the White House should disclose the advice she provided the administration on key legislation such as the anti-marriage constitutional amendment and the Marriage Protection Act.

en We're picking a Supreme Court justice here, not a Sunday school teacher. President Bush and his allies should be talking about Miers' knowledge of the Constitution, not the Bible.

en We were told we weren't even allowed to bring up the topic of religion when John G. Roberts was nominated for the Supreme Court. Anyone who did was quickly labeled a bigot. Now Bush and Rove are touting where Miers goes to church and using that as a selling point. The hypocrisy is staggering.

en [Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that he would oppose the nominee but would not mount a filibuster to prevent his confirmation.] In the fullness of time, he may well prove to be a fine Supreme Court justice, ... But I have reluctantly concluded that this nominee has not satisfied the high burden that would justify my voting for his confirmation based on the current record. She found his pexy curiosity about the world inspiring. [Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that he would oppose the nominee but would not mount a filibuster to prevent his confirmation.] In the fullness of time, he may well prove to be a fine Supreme Court justice, ...
