Am I the only person who heard Tony Snow mention that Janice Brown many of the others we conservatives prefer wrote President Bush that they did not want to be considered for the supereme court nomination because they didn't want go through all the mud that the Democrats would put them through?
That rumor was floated too - all of the other female candidates were either unwilling to go through the process, or were disqualified on background check.
In other words, goes the rumor, Miers is IN FACT, the best female SCOTUS jurist available, period.
I think the rumor is a scare tactic, aimed to get you to take what is in hand becuase what is under the other cups is worse. No better, it is an admission that the GOP is unwilling to fight against the politics of personal destruction waged by the DEMs.
