A Harriet Miers poll that means something
Posted by Moonage on 13 Oct 2005 | Tagged as: The Legal Process
I have seen a bunch of polls, mostly by bloggers, that have precluded their opinion and THEN ran their poll. Needless to say, the results have been pretty much what the host had led them to respond. In this WSJ poll, a huge majority are waiting to find out more about Ms. Miers. I’m in that camp. I don’t immediately dismiss her because she has basically the same qualifications as a lot of other successful Supreme Court Judges, including William Reinquist. I don’t immediately dismiss her because Bush tends to work with people he knows well and trusts. I don’t immediately dismiss her because according to someone else she’s not pro-life enough. I don’t immediately dismiss her because someone else thinks she’s not conservative enough. None of those things are important to me. What is important to me only in that position is she understands the US Constitution well enough to apply it to today’s issues. That is all.
