The nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court has really caused a back and forth in the Republican Party. The Redstate.org site has good views from both sides of this. Check out these entries:

• Harriet Miers — Political Play of the Year? [ambivalent]
• Let Us Condense [con]
• 48 Hours Later, Still the Wrong Nominee [con]
• Harriet Miers: Good for 2006 Midterm Elections [pro]

And these are just the most recent entries. Some may see the debate going on (competing articles as well as in the comments) as bad for the Republicans, but I disagree. When Bill Clinton was President, there was not nearly the objective criticism of him by Democrats as Republicans are willing to have of someone in their party. When Clinton signed NAFTA, for example, there was a bit of a murmur, but not much. I’ve always thought that conservatives were more honest about their beliefs; less party-driven and more principle-driven. This debate is confirming that.
