The Supreme Court is THE reason that I supported the GOP twice. So,in the big picture, my gripe about the lack of guts on display here is small. I hope (and that's what we're reduced to with an unknown like Miers) that she will defend the Constitution in the long run, in which case our support for Bush will have paid off. That's what's truly important. But instead of someone like Brown, who we could have all supported with an uprising, we are throttled back into neutral. Oh well.

Good post. You're honest about your negative reaction to Miers. Wish more here would follow your example.

I really wanted an opportunity for 'us dopes out here in flyover country' to scare the crap out of the 7 wusses in the Senate.

Instead, they call the shots once again, and so are more deeply entrenched.
