Obama IS president. That's the status quo.

A short while ago ' Harriet Miers IS is the nominee for the SC. Get used to it.

Well my friend, we conservatives across the board howled until W reversed his original drunken decision. Sadly we no longer have the fire that we did then. But sometimes, one succeeds where others have failed.

Upshot is, Orly is in the ring and I'm on her side.

Well, actually, being a nominee to a position carries no legal presumption. And Harriet Miers wasn't stopped by court action. She was stopped in a perfectly normal manner by the changing political calculations of the party that nominated her, viewing the dissatisfaction within in its own base and the potential vulnerabilities that nomination presented to the Democrats.

The Miers nomination didn't present legal status quo issues, wasn't a legal issue at all, and was not in any way similar to this. Just saying...
