While it may have done what you say, the odds of a prolonged battle and Miers not being confirmed are short. She probably will be confirmed and GW will win another battle.

He will have put Harriet Miers on SCOTUS. My point is that there is another, related battle, or two or three, or more.

Some people are unhappy with this pick for strategic reasons, even if Harriet Miers works out fine on the Court. Maybe they are paranoid - but there is no question they are disappointed.

I think George Bush has let down the Office of the Presidency by avoiding telling the people and the Senate that the gang-of-14 is an abomination - an unacceptable intrusion on Presidential preogative. It bugs me that he averse to having that confrontation. I think the GOP is weak, and I think the timidity of the nomination is a weakening move.

Yes. He'll win the seating of the nominee. But it comes with a cost. I hope it's worth it.

Try not to forget who he(GW) has to deal with, a Godless out for power, political party, that will sell out the country for pure power. In times like this he may have to be less than forth write for the sake of keeping the rats out.

Times have changed. Thirty years ago we were two political parties. One with a slightly different ideology than the other.

Today we have one political party, infected with rinos, that actually cares about the country. The other is out for power, and state run everything at any cost.They hate capitalism and anyone who does not worship the state.Making matters even worse the msm spins everything their way no matter what.

As potus if he does not take "all" that into consideration he does not serve the country as well as he could. Sad but true.
