Harriet "Stealth" Meirs
This lady might be harder to touch than John "The Galloping Ghost" Roberts. Both Republicans and Democrats don't quite know what to make of her. Is she at all liberal, worry the conservatives? And the left think that she might not be all that bad, but they aren't sure and they would love to deny Bush any benefit of the doubt.
With Miers' selection, Bush was looking to satisfy conservatives who helped confirm Chief Justice John Roberts - without inflaming Democrats who repeatedly warned against the selection of an extreme conservative to succeed Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has voted to uphold abortion rights and preserve affirmative action.....
Democrats said Miers, with no judicial record, will need to answer more questions than Roberts did during his confirmation hearing. Most of her paperwork from her White House days will not be available to the Senate because it falls under executive privilege or lawyer-client privilege.....
At the same time, the White House worked aggressively Monday to allay concerns over Miers among conservatives determined to turn the court to the right.
It appears that it will be very hard for Democrats to find anything they can use to prevent Miers' confirmation. The fact executive privilege protects most of her history will make life difficult for Democrats ready to attack.
