Rush has really toned down his criticism the last couple of weeks. Have you noticed?

This has been predicted. With Rush's legal situation, he can't afford to make any enemies. He has shown a pattern since his legal problems started of criticizing the GOP when they start acting like liberals but then backpedals a few days later once the GOP explains to him that he might be on his own.

The fact that Rush even dared to speak against the administration on the Miers nomination speaks volumes.

You're wrong. Rush has been split on Miers from day one.

Rush's legal situation has no relevance to the Miers debate. In all sincerity, Rush has been in a holding pattern with regards to Miers, and quite frankly, wants to see hearings if indeed it comes to that point, whereupon he would make a final judgement on Miers.

He's undecided at this point.
