QUESTION: Mr. President, of all of the people in the United States you had to choose from, is Harriet Miers the most qualified to serve on the Supreme Court?
BUSH: Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have put her on.
(and later in the same answer)
Thirdly, I know her well enough to be able to say that she’s not going to change; that 20 years from now she’ll be the same person, with the same philosophy that she is today. She’ll have more experience, she’ll have been a judge, but nevertheless, her philosophy won’t change.
