More Reaction to Miers Nomination

I'm fascinated that the White House was apparently rather caught off guard by the negative reaction to the Miers nomination.

(Hat tip: Confirm Them.)

Thoughts from Peggy Noonan and Robert Novak.

Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters expresses concern about the continuing discussion of Miers' religious faith. I think he has a valid point. Unfortunately, one of the only possible clues we have to how Miers might act on the court is her religious faith, because we have no legal writings or speeches to evaluate her Constitutional philosophies.

With the nomination a done deal, I'm trying to remain positive and take a wait-and-see attitude.

And I certainly hope that should we see another retirement in the next year or so, we will be greeting a Justice Alito, Luttig, Brown, or Jones.
