Miers More Conservative Than Bork?

Go read this, to see where Miers has already demonstrated one issue where she is more conservative than the sainted Bork.

Miers:

The very liberties we hold dear, such as, “access to public places, the right to bear arms and freedom from constant surveillance” make such crimes possible, noted Miers. Yet, she concluded, “We are not willing to sacrifice these rights because of the acts of maniacs.”

Bork:

“The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that there is no individual right to own a firearm”

“The Second Amendment was designed to allow states to defend themselves against a possibly tyrannical national government. Now that the federal government has stealth bombers and nuclear weapons, it is hard to imagine what people would need to keep in the garage to serve that purpose.”
