"October 13, 2005--Americans are evenly divided as to whether or not Harriet Miers should be confirmed to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 65% believe she is likely to be confirmed. Just 18% say that confirmation is not very likely or not at all likely.
Despite vocal opposition from many Republican activists, most Republicans across the county support the President's selection. Fifty-four percent (54%) of the GOP faithful say the President's nominee should be confirmed. Only 17% disagree.
Republicans supported the nomination of Chief Justice John Roberts by a 64% to 11% margin.
Contrary to popular opinion, the 'kids are alright!'
UPDATE: Drudge Report had a "Flash" up today:
"The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained a copy of sworn testimony given by Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers in 1989 in which she said that she “wouldn’t belong to the Federalist Society” – a conservative and libertarian lawyers’ organization – because it was “politically charged.”
Just a note. In 1989, The Federalist Society was a brand new organization and at that time was considered a politically charged "fringe group".
They are digging the bottom of the lake now.
What's next?
She fathered "Bat Boy"?On to the Confirmation hearings already!
UPDATE: Read AJ Strata's new post on what might be behind the motives of at least one critic of Harriet - hmmmm, sour grapes?
