One of the central arguments used by Miers supporters is that President Bush claims that Miers is a “strict constructionist” who won’t “legislate from the bench.” As best I can tell, there is no evidence of Miers having said this, or anything like this, to anyone else other than President Bush before her nomination was announced. Further, President Bush has not explained why he thinks it is true: he has not explained what Miers did, wrote, or said that led Bush to reach this conclusion. Given that, I would be interested in hearing from pro-Miers readers, in the comment section, about what they imagine Miers said to Bush that led Bush to conclude that she is a “strict constructionist” who won’t “legislate from the bench.”
