Why are conservative folk not breaking their backs for Bill Myers?, Jeffrey Dubner at The American Prospect asks. I refer you to The Volokh Conspiracy for one right-wing take on the nominee.

I take issue with the argument, made on TAPPED, that folks like me are not talking about Myers because his nomination doesn’t have an abortion/religious rallying cry to latch onto. Pryor is talked about more because he is so obviously qualified. That’s argument #1 against the Democratic filibuster, before you even get to focus in on his views on abortion, the fact he (say it ain’t so!) prays, etc. I thought Chairman Specter—and I think I’ve said this here before—should have brought Pryor up first this session, because the stonewall on his nomination is so blatantly wrong. You can’t necessarily make the same solid case for Myers, as TVC explains.

On the abortion thing, too, I should note I don’t think I even know what Miguel Estrada’s abortion views are. That wasn’t an issue in his nomination fight, but NRO was all over it.
