• October 12, 2005: Bush tries to quiet his rebellious allies, telling reporters, "People are interested to know why I picked Harriet Miers. They want to know Harriet Miers's background. They want to know as much as they possibly can before they form opinions. And part of Harriet Miers's life is her religion."

So much for that: Miers at the announcement of her nomination
