Harriet Miers Blog Roundup

Tuesday October 4, 2005
President Bush's nomination of White House counsel Harriet Miers to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court has predictably triggered pure political drama. Conservative Republicans feel Bush sold them out. Democrats are worried about Miers' stand, or lack thereof, on abortion. Still others are simply unhappy that Bush chose a nominee with no judicial or legislative experience. What are the political blogs saying?

Deborah White at Liberal Politics U.S. posts, "Harriet Miers from All Angles: From Nit-Picky to Decent to Stone Cold"

FindLaw offers this list of Justices without prior judicial experience.

From the American Prospect, "She's No Roberts," by David Garrow

ASCBlog offers a look at "Miers on abortion rights, sort of."

Christian Broadcasting Network posts "A History of Conservative Picks Gone Wrong."

The Wall Street Journal looks at how several bloggers are debating Miers.
