OPPOSE THE MIERS NOMINATION

If you wish to express your opposition to the Miers nomination, go to David Frum's page on the National Review website. He is running a petition drive to ask the White House to withdraw the nomination. I have added my name, I hope you will as well. Not because we are sexist, or opposed to friends of George W. Bush, but because we believe that this extraordinary opening on the U.S. Supreme Court deserves someone who stands above the crowd in terms of intellectual power, judicial experience and temperament, and who has a demonstrable set of ironclad conservative credentials. The country deserves a knock-down, drag-out fight over such a candidate, not an under-the-radar crony of the President (who, by the way, according to John Fund of the WSJ, is being sold to religious conservatives as a lock to vote for overturning Roe v. Wade).
