Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. --- Theodore Roosevelt

My alarm clock is set to KLIF 570 AM so I was waking up this morning hearing the president nominate Harriet Miers, his choice to replace retiring justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the US Supreme Court. She is 60 so I was a little surprise and in the natural order of things, I don't expect her to outlast John Roberts. Also, it's my gut instincts plus my observations so far, I trust president George W. Bush to do the right thing. In his nominating speech, he said that "Harriet Miers will strictly interpret our Constitution and laws. She will not legislate from the bench." That is exactly what he campaigned on and he has delivered that. Only time will tell whether these nominees, who have the most loyal friend in the president, will in turn be a loyal friend to the president. So far I have seen none of those he trusted has betrayed him, except for a couple of the cabinet secretaries who have said a few things after they left their post with his administration. Afterall, God is sovereign and clean, confirmable and saying all the right things at the right time nominee like John Roberts does not come around that very often. And with the senior senator from Texas, senator Kay Bailey Hutchison already goes to bat for her, I believe this nominee will be confirmed sooner rather than later.
