Really. So, if the battle looks to be tough, surrender?
The democrats clearly own our asses if this is the mentality.
Exactly. Was Clarence Thomas stealthy? Rehnquist? Scalia?
O'Connor and Kennedy had better conservative credentials at the time of their nominations than Miers appears to have.
A fight would have been good. As another freeper noted, a fight would have entrenched a Luttig, Owen or Jones, even more as a conservative after being subjected to the B.S. tactics deployed by the Democrats.
Bushed wimped out; this is a bad pick.
