Wow, Ensign speaks ...on his own! It must help to have a threat of competition in the upcoming election! And to think his pal, Senator Reid, blessed Miers!

The Nevada Republican also said that much of the criticism of Miers has been "unfair" but that he understands why some fellow conservatives want assurances she will not turn into a "judicial activist" on the high court.
