You gotta be joking.
This was the White House's doing all the way.
Do you really believe it was conservatives behind the scenes pushing Miers?
The frustrating thing is that this whole thing was so unnecessary. The WH thought itwas being clever, but shot itself in the foot, if not higher up the legs.
No, no, no - that wasn't my point: IMHO, the Senate's lack of discernable spine apparently made the WH decide it had no option but to choose a 'confirmable' nominee in Miers. If she is ultimately dumped. it will be because the Conservative wing demanded a mulligan on this nomination. That's the point of #34.
