DJ Drummond says it better than I

Just read this by D J over at Polipundit on the Miers nomination. Very well done. Read it all on why she will be confirmed. One point he makes about all the attacks on Miers:

Annoying, this piling-on of hate by the ideologues, but it is very poor strategy as well. If nothing else, the average American tends to favor someone perceived as an underdog or an innocent victim, and all this vitriol is making people ask the reasonable question, ‘why not just let the lady have her hearings?’ It seems to me that not only are the ideologues embarrassing themselves with such comments, they are driving the undecideds to the pro-Miers side. Also, as Strata-Sphere observed succinctly, “the anti-Miers crowd are losing other conservative factions because they called for a civil war with nothing but scary fairytales to back up their claims.”

A reasonable question -- "Why not just let the lady have her hearings?"

And -- they called for a civil war armed with nothing but fairy tales.

Good stuff both of them.
