What a Woman!

I just had the pleasure of watching the first phase of The McLaughlin Group which concerned yet again the recent Bush nominee to the Supreme Court, Harriet Miers. It seemed to me that they all missed the point of why the rabid right objects to her nomination in spite of the fact that the prez insisted that she was a nominee who would not change over the years into a left wing liberal.

The prez stated when he nominated her that as an Evangelical Christian she would never change her current (right-wing-religious-nut) view of the world and that therefore she was safe. He furthermore stated that he 'knew her heart' which convinced him of the above.

Most Democrats love the nomination while most Republicans do not. The question is, 'Why?' What is it about HM that the right hates and the left loves? I know. You don't know.

Here is why: Harriet Miers 'converted' from Catholicism to Evangelicalism. That is a stunning conversion. Her conversion demonstrates that Harriet Miers is capable of immense change. That is what worries the Right, and that is what the Left savors about Harriet Miers.

Harriet Miers is not yet fixed.
