"The betrayal by W has happened now. It does not matter if Miers turns out to be in the mold of Thomas and Scalia. W does not know, and nobody knows, how she will turn out."
This doesn't make any sense. If "Meirs turns out to be in the mold of Thomas and Scalia," you'll still feel betrayed? And, BTW, of course Pres. Bush knows how Ms. Meirs will "turn out" - he's known her and her thought processes for many years.
It's possible, but not plausible.
Then again, Gary Hart "may" win the 2008 presidential election.
I don't think either scenario-though theoretically possible-has more than an extremely remote chance of ever occurring.
