Miers was, I am sure, involved in many discussions about 
    what it was that W wanted in a nominee. She knows that he 
    wants an Originialist, that he wants someone in the mold 
    of Scalia and Thomas. She also knows that the court is 
    his legacy.

    As a woman of faith and obvious integrity, do people 
    honestly believe you would accept the nomination while 
    knowing in her heart that she would shatter all of her 
    president's plans?

    I doubt it. If she was going to be a Souter, don't people 
    realize that if she had any integrity she would 
    say, "Thank you Mr. President, but I am not what you are 
    looking for."

    As I recall, Bush 1 made the mistake of picking someone 
    else's compadre, not his own. W knows what he is doing.
