Is Bush wrong on Miers?

The White House has made the case for Harriet Miers by emphasizing her religious views. Indeed, it is funny that religious identity politics is used at all. Remember William Prior was used as an attacking point against Democrats. Republicans called them anti-Catholic for their opposition to the nominee.

I do not make my arugement against Miers on the point that the administration is using double speak. I agrue that for far too long Republicans have been fooled by stealth appointments. The problem can be summed up as this: it is entirely possible for someone to hold conservative religious (liberal for that matter) views, yet to approach judging in ways that are at odds with the judicial conservatism. I believe John Roberts, even if he doesn't overturn Roe, is the right kind of justice for the Court. As for Miers, lets just hope her confirmation hearings relieve her true convictions.
