It was the right decision, and I respect her greatly for making it.

it was a Rovian conspiracy all along. now they pop in a real conservative woman and get ready to point fingers at the dems and pubs for harrassing HM.

E.D. Hill just said that a list of people he was considering asked to be removed because they didn't want to go through the hearings process. Can you blame them?

Me too....

"It was the right decision, and I respect her greatly for making it.'

Dittos to that.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, I believe it was the right decision. I do respect Miers for doing so and also the President for accepting the withdrawel.

The reasons given by Miers are precisely the reason she should never have been lofted in the first place.

With little to base a decision on, the Senate wanted White House papers. That would have impacted the ability for White House counselors to provide good advice to presidents in the future, always wondering if that advise would later be revealed in public, or impact their possible future nominations.

I have thought Miers nomination was a flawed choice from the start. I am glad to see Bush get a second chance on this one.

It was the right decision, and I respect her greatly for making it.

That's exactly how I feel about it.

[Obadiah]

It was the right decision, and I respect her greatly for making it.

Unfortunately, it was the right "political" decision to make, and yes, I respect her, and the President for having the courahe to make it. May God continue to bless Harriet Miers and President Bush.

By the way, I sure hope all the sniping at the President now stops here at FR.

[Republican Wildcat]

I think she saw the handwriting on the wall and decided she was in over her head.

Now let's get Janice Rogers Brown up there!

[batter]

We should all thank her. I never agreed with her nomination, but believe she is a decent person, but ultimately just not the right one for the job. I'm sure this had to be a tough decision for her but she had a lot of guts.

Hopefully Bush will nominate a conservative with the stamina, solid constitutional values, and capabilities to stand up to and outwit the activists justices on SCOTUS.

We need to fight tooth an nail for such a justice. This is one battle we can't lose to the Democrats.

[dorathexplorer]

It was the right decision, and I respect her greatly for making it.

Yes, I agree. As I heard on the radio this morning, if she can't handle the pressure of waiting for a confirmation, then she wouldn't be able to handle the position of Supreme Court Judge.

Part of me was wondering about her too, since she just didn't seem right for the job. The other part, was thinking Bush knows what he's doing, so let it play out.

It's played out and we'll see what happens next. Hopefully Bush will take this que and put in someone that will really affect the Supreme Court in a good way.
