Soothing those that Seethe?

Much thanks to The Hill for this:

Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee, yesterday held a conference call with conservative leaders to address their concerns about Miers. He stressed Bush’s close relationship with Miers and the need to confirm a justice who will not interfere with the administration’s management of the war on terrorism, according to a person who attended the teleconference.

"The need to confirm a justice who will not interfere with the administration's management of the war on terror..."

Why would she not?

Is it because she is a White House insider who has an understanding of this war and how it's run? Is this a hat tip to her desire to not legislate from the bench? Is this a way for Bush to put someone on the bench who would support whatever it is he does, even if his efforts are those of a mismanaged executive, thus not serving her part as one of the nine that serve as a check and a balance?

What does this mean?

From Mark Tapscott: "Sounds like they are worried about a Supreme Court decision going against them on detention of enemy combatants, especially the Padilla case where a U.S. citizen is involved."

That makes sense...no harm no foul I guess.
