Bush cites Miers religion to ease GOP concerns
The White House pressed back against conservative doubts about Harriet Miers by highlighting her religious beliefs. President Bush called religion a part of Miers' life and defended her qualifications and constitutional approach. Critics warn such emphasis may politicize the nomination, while supporters note evangelical backing is uneven compared with John Roberts. Dobson warned GOP senators against voting against a conservative Christian nominee. A Texas Right to Life official denied confirming Miers' membership, stating the list is not public.
