OK, I'm getting upset.

The conservative reaction to the Miers nomination is really frightening me. We've got to stop this right now, and join this confrontation with a solid front. Let them try to filibuster her, but DO NOT screw it up by undercutting her!

Power Line is suggesting that she's been pre-approved by the Dems. If so, I think they've fooled themselves. She's an evangelical Christian, for crying out loud.

But remember, Searchlight's dimmest bulb (Reid), is an active Mormon and opposed to abortion (as am I), and I don't think he'd go for torpedoing someone based only on her religion. Mormons are the only religious group I know of in American history to have been subjected to pogroms. Not even Jews have been as persecuted in this country. So while I wouldn't be surprised if Harry Reid went with his party, it's perfectly plausible that he has called in some chips to prevent her from being Borked.

Now John Hinderaker is changing his tune a little as he learns more about her. I just pray that conservatives do for her opponents what the Dems couldn't. It would be an interesting move if they dropped all opposition to her just to make conservatives suspicious and she failed to get enough support from the right. It would be tragic, and it would make conservatives look like morons.

Hugh Hewitt has been playing sound clips from everybody. It sounds as if Harry Reid has called in some chits to support Miers. It surprises me, but why look a gift horse in the mouth? I still trust Bush, and the fact that Miers is one of the ones who selected John Roberts.

The folks at the Corner seem to be divided on Maybe She's Not That Bad to "The horror. The horror." (Podhoretz) I think they're too intellectual for their own good.
