From: "Gary Britt" 

Your comments are quite sensible, but I'm afraid I will be too angry and
betrayed to be sensible should this or any future Supreme Court pick go
wrong.  I'll only want revenge at that point, even if I have to spite my
face to do it.

There are plenty of eminently more qualified conservatives around who would
never surprise anyone, and that's the problem.  If Miers goes wrong, I for
one will never again buy into the "aw shucks I guess we made a boo boo
routine" the way we did when Bush 1 screwed us over big time with
Souter.

To steal a phrase to help indicate how strongly I feel about this.   "NEVER
AGAIN".
