Although probably a very nice woman, the conservative base was promised a justice in the mold of Scalia or Thomas. That mold had a paper trail. A conservative paper trail is something to be proud of, not ashamed.
The personal lawyer of the president should not be nominated either. The Wall St. Journal opined and refered to the Federalist papers "To what purpose then require the co-operation of the Senate?...It would be an excellent check upon a spirit of favoritism in the President, and would tend greatly to prevent the appointment of unfit characters...from personal attachment" (http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110007354)
Conservatives are saying "Democrats/Republicans" all the same. They will stay home demoralized in 2006 & 2008. If Miers turns out to be O'Connor, the Republican party will be sunk for 20 years. Are Senate Republicans willing to chance their future careers?
