Conservatives Ask President Bush to Withdraw Harriet Miers Pick

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Some conservative political advocates are calling on President Bush to withdraw the nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. They say Miers is not as qualified as other potential nominees and that the defense of her nomination by friends and the president make it appear as if she was picked because of her evangelical Christian views.

Manuel Miranda, chairman of the Third Branch Conference, a conservative group that has pushed for confirmation of John Roberts and Bush's past appeals court picks, says Bush should take the nomination off the table.

"The calls to withdraw are serious, and they're going to increase," he told the San Francisco Chronicle. "The more that we heard from the nomination's defenders, the more people became convinced that there was no substance in the nomination and that her friends were her worst enemies."

In addition, charges that President Bush picked Miers simply because of their long-standing working relationship are adding to the pressure the president is facing.
