Here's an out-there theory. I think that Bush might be provoking them into a filibuster of a "kamikaze" candidate, so that he can then nominate a judicial conservative and they will appear hypocritical if they vote that one down also.
Nah, these guys are not that clever. Miers will be hard to filibuster. John Cornyn will go to bat for her in the Senate. Dems will decide they would rather have an older unknown conservative than a younger known one.
You may be correct, but it may be the conservatives that vote her down. The first time I heard her name mentioned was yesterday, cannot recall the radio host that did so, but I figured there she is!
I heard today she contributed to Al Gore's campaign!! What is our president doing? Not many of the political pundits are happy.
