Miers’ confirmation hearings to start in Nov.
Well at least now we know exactly when we’ll be getting the run-around:
Confirmation hearings for White House counsel Harriet Miers, President Bush's choice to succeed Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, will commence the first week of November.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said the decision to start the hearings on Nov. 7 was passed on to Republican Judiciary Committee members by Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., at a meeting this morning.
...Democrats have been pushing to start the hearing later in the month, saying there is no need to rush the White House counsel's confirmation since O'Connor has promised to stay on the court until her replacement is approved by the Senate.
Republicans are pushing to have Miers confirmed and on bench before Thanksgiving.

Let’s just hope Miers makes her positions on choice clearer than Roberts did.
