DOBSON AND HEWITT

They’re both on board for now. Here’s the usual Hewitt pro-Bush spin. “Jump, Mr president? How high, Mr president? How high?” Here’s Dobson’s press release:

“We welcome the president’s nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court. He pledged emphatically during his campaign to appoint judges who will interpret the law rather than create it. He also promised to select competent judges who will ‘not use the bench to write social policy.’ To this point, President Bush’s appointments to the federal bench appear to have been remarkably consistent with that stated philosophy. Based on the information known generally about Harriet Miers, and President Bush’s personal knowledge of her, we believe that she will not prove to be a lone exception.

Dobson is holding back for the hearings before he fully commits, though. Fair enough.
