The Unchangeable Harriet Miers
Mr. Bush has just publicly stated one of the best reasons to reject Harriet Miers as an Associate Justice. He says that she will not change her opinions one bit in the next twenty-five years. In other words, the Senate is asked to confirm someone who is utterly set in her views, whatever they are, and will not change her mind one whit, regardless of the facts of the case before the court. I don't know about you, but if someone said that I would not change my mind at all during the next twenty-five years, I would punch him in the nose.
