"On another thread, someone was lamenting that Bush chose Miers instead of someone like Bork"
That was only because nominating Bork would have caused a big fight....not because Bork would have been a better justice.
Like Rush said, the fight was needed and we will have to fight it someday. But, its been delayed by Miers...oh well.
I admire Rush Limbaugh, but why have a fight, when we can win the war without firing a shot?? Isn't that what Ronald Reagan did??? And it turned out to be the right thing to do, didn't it???
I don't think that anyone has considered the fact that Bush may have thought that this was not the time for a knock down, drag out battle with the left, when he has so much else going on, that demand his full attention. Maybe that is what Rush meant when he said that Bush must have felt that he couldn't depend on the Repulcan legislators to fight the battle for his nominee if there was much of a paper trail.
