Recoil in Nausea from the Miers Nomination.

r. Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, on yesterday's White-House-sponsored conference call on the Miers nomination:

One of the things that someone as a sixth-generation Texan that I want to add to this call and that is this: The two things that are probably … there are two virtues that are valued as highly as any virtue can be valued in the Texas culture, and those two virtues are courage and loyalty. Courage and loyalty. And this President, he knows that Harriet Miers is also a Texan, and, with a degree of understanding that would never have to be articulated, he and she both understand that if she were to get on the Court and she were to rule in ways that were contrary to the ways that the president would want her to approach her role as a justice it would be a deep personal betrayal and would be perceived as such by both by him and by her.

Just nauseating, and embarrassing.

UPDATE: What Sally Greene says, too.
