Miers: Mehlman Says Conservatives Will Warm to Miers
I’m currently listening in on a conference call with RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman discussing the nomination of Harriett Miers. When it was my turn to ask Mehlman a question, I asked “Do you believe that those conservatives who have reservations about the Miers nomination will be more comfortable with her qualifications and philosophy after the hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee?”
Chairman Mehlman responded, “Yes, I do. People will be able to hear about her vision. She will be a judge who respects the Constitution. She will have a conservative approach to the bench and I think she will reassure people with her constitutionalist approach.”
I’ll have more on the conference call in just a few minutes.
