"Nominate someone that shows us you are fighter, not a whimp. Come on Bush!! This was our chance to put in Janice Rogers Brown and you blew it!!! This was your biggest opportunity to make a stand for the conservative movement and you let us down."

"AS A CONSERVATIVE I SEE THE NOMINATION OF THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY, MS. MIERS AS A WHOLLY UNACCEPTABLE SITUATION. THE ONLY PLAUSIBLE REASON FOR SUCH A NOMINATION IS TO MAINTAIN THE RELATIVISTIC/REVISIONISTIC PHILOSOPHY OF THE COURT. JUDGES ARE NOT, AND NEV"
"Please stop the Miers nomination. The Supreme Court is no place for Presidential favorites nor political rewards."
"What an awful choice!"
"Please nominate someone with a proven conservative, constructionist history. And please find someone young."
