Perhaps not the conservative after all...

Pffffft. She has notoriety in Texas as a corporate lawyer, not much else. There is no paper trail; her positions are largely unknown. Point being that was not the case with judges like Rehnquist; they had no judicial experience, but they were not unknowns with unknown positions.

While being independent, the church's teachings on salvation through Christ is consistent with orthodox evangelical theology, as is its statement of beliefs.

When pastor Ron Key was asked about Miers's views, he said, "her personal views are consistent with that of evangelical Christians… You can tell a lot about her from her decade of service in a conservative church." [3] If Miers holds the same or similar beliefs of her former church, then she is likely to be an Evangelical Christian.

Miers is a former board member of Exodus Ministries, a Dallas-based "non-denominational Christian organization established to assist ex-offenders and their families become productive members of society by meeting both their spiritual and physical needs." [4] It should not be confused with the "ex-gay" ministry Exodus International.

That is just downright scary shiite.

Of course it is, but Shrub wouldn't have it any other way. It's precisely why the "outrage" over her not being conservative enough is manufactured ridiculousness.
