Thomas Sowell got it right. Senate Republicans are a bunch of weenies.
The Senate Republicans will have to be the ones to pay the price if Miers gets onto the Supreme Court and isn't a female Scalia. Every member of the Republican gang of 14 and George Voinovich need to be targeted by conservatives.
This nomination can be withdrawn or defeated if Senate Republicans become convinced she is too big a gamble and the price of her not being in the Scalia mold is too high.
