RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman had a conference call with a few conservative bloggers this afternoon, including RedState’s Erick Erickson, and his message was that Harriet Miers’s philosophy and character show she is a strict constructionist whose character won’t change over time.
Professor Bainbridge liveblogged the call. He concludes: “Call ends. My mind is unchanged. It was a lot of assurances but not a lot of facts. And facts are what we need.”
If I would have been on the call, I would have asked who was prepping her for the hearings. And since her religion is so important to her, I’d like to know exactly why her congregation in Texas decided to splinter, and why she is attending one of the offshoots holding services in a hotel. What was the dispute?
