Bizzaro-Land

I've been reading over some more of the situation involving Harriet Miers and her Supreme Court nomination, and I've found something very odd that hasn't really been brought to people's attention.

Why, after President Bush's reassurances of Harriet being a "conservative who shares his views", and her being a devoted christian, are the conservatives opposing her nomination and the liberals supporting it?

Think about it...most of the republican party, which Bush is a member of and supposedely so is Miers, are opposing his hand-picked candidate. The democrats, however, are in favor of her as a candidate. Did I miss something? Why are the Democrats supporting a "conservative" candidate, and the Republicans opposing her? Perhaps because they fear, given their lack of information on her views, they fear she could become another David Souter. In case you didnt know, David Souter was nominated by Bush Sr. under the impression that he was a moderate republican. Turns out he's one of the most liberal justices on the supreme court.Since the democrats don't really have the votes to stop her from replacing Sandra Day O'Connor, maybe they're just hoping she turns out to be the next Souter, which given the information we have could happen. She gave money to an Al Gore campaign a while back after all. The Republicans perhaps, not knowing her stances on...well ANYTHING, would much rather have someone with a proven track-record. Or...

Here's a Thought...Maybe, given HIS track-record, his own party is just betting on President Bush being wrong. Of course, having entered Bizzaro Land already, he may actually be right for once.
