Lindsey on Miers

After an hour-long personal meeting with Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, Senator Lindsey Graham has reportedly told her critics to "shut up for a minute." According to the Myrtle Beach Sun News, Graham says we need to "give the lady a chance."

While I don't think we should be admonished to "shut up" in a democracy, I am inclined to agree with our senior senator otherwise. Let's see what she has to say.

P.S. : On the matter of what she is saying, I understand that in a meeting with Senator Patrick Leahy (Very D-Vermont) she mentioned "Warren" as one of her favorite justices. She later qualified that to be Warren Burger (CJ 1969-1986) not Earl Warren (CJ 1953-1969). Earl Warren was very liberal and controlled by others on the court. Warren Burger was relatively conservative but not the best leader either.
