It was on the PBS show Religion and Ethics today. This is from the PBS website for that show- http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week906/perspectives.html

O'BRIEN: Well, the hope is that she will be confirmed by Thanksgiving, and that's realistic. They can do it in that time, assuming this doesn't blow up in the administration's face. If she is confirmed by Thanksgiving, she would be on the court, on the bench for the next big abortion case coming up on November 30.

ABERNETHY: Which is what?

O'BRIEN: A case from New Hampshire involving parental notification when a juvenile wants an abortion. There are also procedural questions in the case. It's an extremely important case. The court is closely divided on this issue, and Harriet Miers's vote could be decisive.

1. Clearly, it's a done deal which way Miers would decide abortion cases.

No one has even suggested that Miers would vote any other way than anti-choice, pro-birth, pro-authority, anti-privacy.

2. Ahhhhh ... so that explains why ...

* wants to have Miers confirmed before Thanksgiving.

He's planning on an early Christmas present for his base.
