Maybe, just maybe Meirs name is being floated, the media runs with it and then Bush will come out and name someone else.

You'd think the media would've learned after breathlessly reporting that the President was to name Clement later in the day, only to have Roberts' name sprung on them at the last minute. That was only a few months ago, and here they go again.

Yes. They are really dumb aren't they? But I am having a harder time with everyone here assuming she's the one. Just because Rove had a picture with her over the weekend. Guess what? Rove had a picture with Edith C. the first time too. Remember he is an evil genius. :)

Maybe this is still a head fake a la Abe Foras. The Democrats who are ready to fight anyone waste all their energy fighting her, and then when she is filibustered, Bush can roll out the real nominee, i.e. Luttig, Alito or someone really qualified.

Hopeful thanking? Probably. Otherwise it will take some time for me to come to terms with the enormity of this betrayal.
