And here is the excited conservative so far this morning:

In nominating Harriet Miers, the President has once again kept his commitment to select Supreme Court justices who are very well qualified and share his philosophy of interpreting the law, not legislating from the bench.
I have worked closely with Harriet in the past and I am very excited about the president’s pick of my friend. As White House Counsel, she has helped carry out the President’s promise to find and select judicial nominees such as John Roberts who will interpret the law rather than make it up. She played a key role in the Roberts selection process, and was a strong advocate for breaking the filibusters in relation to Judges Priscilla Owen, William Pryor, and Janice Brown, among others.
Her judicial philosophy is summed up in the statement she made this morning accepting the nomination:
“It is the responsibility of every generation to be true to the founders’ vision of the proper role of the courts and our society. If confirmed, I recognize that I will have a tremendous responsibility to keep our judicial system strong and to help ensure that the courts meet their obligations to strictly apply the laws and the constitution.”
Harriet Miers has a distinguished record of private practice and government service, providing an important set of experiences and perspectives to the Supreme Court bench. She has also on a number of occasions demonstrated her commitment to conservative legal principles and the principles of judicial restraint in fairly applying the law, and not making public policy from the bench.
 As a leader of the bar, Harriet Miers was a fearless and very strong proponent of conservative legal views. She led a campaign to have the American Bar Association end its practice of supporting abortion-on-demand and taxpayer-funded abortions.
 In her work respecting the War on Terror and the threats posed to our country by misuse of foreign and international law, Ms. Miers has applied the Constitution as the Framers wrote it.
 She was National Co-Chairman of Lawyers for Bush-Cheney in 2000 and helped manage the Bush v. Gore litigation effort.
 She has shown a commitment to advancing the rule of law through her participation in activities of the Federalist Society, the American Tort Reform Association, and other legal organizations.
While she is sure to meet criticism from some Democrats and liberal interest groups who want Supreme Court nominees to impose political agendas, her credentials and approach to the law will be welcomed by the American people, who time and again have expressed their frustration with court decisions that have imposed law rather than interpreted it.
Harriet Miers is an excellent choice for this president and conservatives should be very happy with this selection.
