Sorry but threatening to vote her down because of documents they have no right to is what the Democrats tried to do with Roberts and did do to John Bolton.

If that worked this time what makes you think the Democrats wouldn't use that lame excuse to filibuster the next candidate?

I don't have any desire to see Miers humiliated.

It is a little too late for that. Her humiliation was preordained the moment she chose to work for the Bush administration. When incompetent people are the focus of public scrutiny they are sure to be humiliated by their own stupidity....like letting her law licence lapse, twice...like being incapable of completing a questionnaire satisfactorily, and like making a bumbling incoherent impression on every Senator she meets.

I agree. There are questions that the Senate should be asking. For example, it might ask about the constitutional issues involved in separation of powers involving a preemptive attack on terrorists. Since Miers has been involved in Presidential decisions, she would have to decline answering.
