Mier's Ever Growing Woes

As per Daily Show, Meir's first test was a failure. Being a stealth candidate means she's trying to hide her actual views, but also give good excuses about hiding her views.
The test was basicly a forward to the Senate, so then they could better prepare for questioning. She not only didn't answer anything, the non-answers weren't that good. So now she has to take the test again. Shouldn't it be telling that she basicly failed the test the first time?

And to make things worse for her, ABCNews has a story that the Dallas Diocese is fact-checking her (here: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/SupremeCourt/wireStory?id=1238750). Yes, the title of the piece is that she isn't a Catholic. From what I got from the article, she did attend a church, but broke off after a undisclosed disagreement. Appearently the wink-wink that this hint was is not a good one.

I just have a feeling that Meirs will be hammered. Without the immediatcy of having a seat open in the Supreme Court, coupled with Bush's increasing lame-duckness, conservatives want a Scalia on the bench. Bush is taking a huge risk by keeping Meirs as a nominee. If she is turned down, Bush will lose all of his "political capital", and actually go into "political debt".
