[But Jan LaRue, chief counsel of Concerned Women for America, said the call did nothing to clear her doubts about Miers.] I'm still looking for something tangible, ... I didn't hear anything that I hadn't seen or read before. |
[But yesterday's response to the nominee left that open to doubt. There was widespread dissent among Bush's usual allies on the right, who questioned whether the 60-year-old former corporate lawyer possessed the distinguished qualifications and conservative credentials they are looking for in a court nominee.] It could well be that she is in the tradition of Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia, as the president has promised, ... The problem is that those of us who were looking for some tangible evidence of that have none, and we can't come out of the box supporting her. |

It could well be that she is in the tradition of Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia, as the president has promised. The problem is that those of us who were looking for some tangible evidence of that have none, and we can't come out of the box supporting her. |
It sounds like he's being gracious. I mean, how could he get that wrong? It sounds funny to me, |
It sounds like there's a lot of politics at play here. |
