Posted on: Thursday, 27 October 2005, 15:00 CDT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Below are individual statements of WithdrawMiers.org coalition members on Harriet Miers' withdrawal of her nomination as associate justice of the Supreme Court:

"Ms. Miers' withdrawal is a humble act of respect for the court, the law and our country. We wish Ms. Miers the very best in her continued service to the country. We thank President Bush for his leadership in making the difficult decision in accepting her withdrawal. The coalition and people across the country are eager to rally around President Bush when he selects a nominee who has judicial philosophy with a clear commitment to the Constitution, and who is in the mold of Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas." -- Joseph Cella, Fidelis

"The President has done the right thing in accepting the withdrawal of Harriet Miers' nomination. We hope the President will honor his campaign commitment and nominate a justice in the mold of Scalia and Thomas, someone who promises to uphold the Constitution as it was written, not as it might evolve." -- Phyllis Schlafly, Eagle Forum

"Ms. Miers' withdrawal presents President Bush with an opportunity to put forward a nominee that will allow for a substantive and dignified debate about the role of a judge and respect for the Constitution while uniting his conservative base." - - Richard Viguerie, ConservativeHQ
