Harriet Miers
I was wondering..why do so many people disagree on Bush's decision to nominate Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court? I mean, people say she isn't conservative enough..whatever that means...but she's been working in the law business since forevr..Anyway, my question is..why should Harriet Miers be elected..and why shouldn't she?

Here's my opinion as unbiased as possible.... First of all, she wasn't elected nor will she be. She was appointed by Bush and will ultimately be voted onto the bench or not by Congress. There are a few reasons why people on both sides of the aisle don't like her.
1. She has never been a judge. She stands on the brink of being a judge in the most important court in the country and she has never been a judge or had a federal court experience.
2. No one knows where she really stands on things other than what her friends (the President among them) tells us. You'll hear the term 'paper trail' a lot. With judges you can see how they have ruled in the past and infer how they will rule in the future. In her case no one can do this, and this as I mention is the most important court in the country, so maybe people should have an idea where she comes in on issues facing the country.
3. The only thing that she seems to be known for is being Bush's attorney and friend. Is that reason enough to have a job for life on the Supreme Court?
Conservative or not, or regardless of how you feel on a variety of topics, a Supreme court judge will help form laws that could shape the country for generations. You have to decide if the President telling us that she's a good friend is reason enough to want this person on the bench. If you have questions or real concerns, contact your congress person.

All you're going to get on here will be biased answers that all the little kiddies are mocking from their parents. Dont listen to them.
Just do this. Who cares? If she doesnt screw anything up what sucks so much? Nothing.

People on the right say she isn't conservative enough because she doesn't quote scripture and bash liberals.
