DescriptionWashington - Colorado's Tom Tancredo on Wednesday became the first Republican in Congress to oppose President Bush's choice of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, saying in scathing comments that she lacks credentials and ability.

"She is apparently not the intellectual powerhouse that we could have put on the court," said Tancredo, R-Littleton. "I do believe it was a mistake."

While Miers likely would be a conservative vote, she lacks the ability to influence the court beyond her vote, Tancredo said, adding, "That is really disappointing."
