Gonzales Urges: Give Miers a Chance

Attorney General Gonzales Urges People to Give Harriet Miers Time to Explain and Identify Herself to Nation

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=1205519

WASHINGTON Oct 12, 2005 — Attorney General Alberto Gonzales asserted Wednesday that Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers would bring "a unique brand of experience" to the high court and that critics will feel comfortable when they get to know her.

Gonzales, himself once considered a leading candidate for a vacancy there, said there is "nothing unique or earth-shattering" about Miers' nomination and said people should give her time to say who she is and what she believes.

President Bush "has a wonderful track record" in naming judges, Gonzales, a longtime Bush aide and confidant, said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America. He said the Miers nomination "is consistent with that model."

"She is a person who believes in judicial restraint, understands the proper role of a judge," Gonzales said. "She is uniquely qualified. She will bring a diversity of experience. She is going to bring, in my judgment, a unique brand of experience to the court that will strengthen the court," Gonzales added when asked about criticism, much of it from conservative Republicans, that Miers lacks legal stature for the job.

2. Laughable. Truly laughable.
The not so speedy Gonzales is here to testify.

3. I wonder what future holds for Mr. G. When
will he realize he has hitched his wagon to a falling star? Those who continue to support Shrub must be either naive or just plain stupid.

4. "Wonderful track record"? Like running around in circles?
While America suffers because of your failed policies.

6. "...in my judgment..."
right...YOUR judgement?

I trust your judgement about as much as I do your idiot boss.

No one who approves of torture displays any judgement worth considering.
