What are some republicans upset with Bush nominating Miers to the SCOTUS? They fundamentally do not understand Bush. Some Repub believe that Bush owes them something and they should have been included in his decision process for a judge. Who knows how many people thought they had Bush's ear, ready to move their pet into the court. They forget Bush stays loyal to those that have shown him loyalty. He nominated someone he has known for years. Bush is Pro Jesus, anti abortion, believes in taking the war to our enemies where they live, believes people should work for a living, etc.. That is why he won the Governorship and the Presidency. Miers will not be a Bush puppet, but she shares many of his values. If you hate Bush, you will not like her on the court.
Skip the wasted partisan politics, get the nomination out to the Senate floor for a full vote. Make sure your Senator has heard from you before the Miers vote.
