The Weekly Standard’s Duncan Currie is correct::
So when Harriet Miers’s defenders insinuate that her qualifications are meaningless–when they hint that adding a reliably conservative vote to the Court is all they care about–they do both the nominee and American conservatism a disservice.
The extent to which conservative opposition to Miers persists following yesterday’s Roe-related disclosures will be a good measure of its highmindedness. Show us what you’re made of, ladies and gentlemen of the right.
UPDATE: Andrew Sullivan, like me, is optimistic:
Weirdly, I don’t think [Miers' pro-life positions] will shore her up among the conservative establishment, who oppose her for her mediocrity, primarily.
