Attorney Jay Sekulow is confidently optimistic about President Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court. Unlike so many who are commenting, pro or con, on the nomination, Sekulow has actually worked with the nominee.
Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, said "President Bush showed exceptional judgment in naming Harriet Miers," saying she "represents the conservative mainstream of judicial philosophy of interpreting the Constitution, not re-writing it."
In an ACLJ press announcement, Sekulow cites Mier's record in leading the opposition to the American Bar Association's decision to come out in support of Roe v. Wade and abortion rights as a defining moment for the nominee.
"During Mier's tenure as head of the Texas Bar Association, she was a leader in the campaign to reverse the ABA's pro-choice position � Had this campaign been successful, which it was not, the ABA would have been returned to its former position of neutrality."
The attorney, who also hosts a daily radio broadcast that reaches 1.5 million listeners, will mobilize a national campaign to help ensure that Miers is confirmed.
