CNN: HARRIET MIERS HAS WITHDRAWN!

[SoFloFreeper]

just breaking!!!!!!!!

[livius]

As I said, I hope you like Gonzales. Because I think that's who you're going to get. Miers never even got to state her position in hearings - she was under ill-informed, hysterical media-fanned attacks from day one. How is that a victory for conservatives?

[mewzilla]

Hope when it comes to the next pick the thinking is Darn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

[Clint N. Suhks]

And now all the Miers haters are gearing up to do the same to the next person the President nominates.

Take your meds.

[libstripper]

Not if that person is an originalist, the kind of jurist President Bush promised the people he would nominate.

[MortMan]

Gonzales is probably more likely. Be careful what you wish for.

[rhombus]

Nothing short of Janice Rogers Brown will be acceptable to some around here.

I'd give them exactly what they want and say, OK - show us how to get this nomination confirmed.

[Liberty Valance]

and now maybe we can get one of those "Roe is settled law" candidates like Roberts.

[TXBSAFH]

Good it makes them look the fool.

[XJarhead]

My two cents thrown in the pot for Mrs. Janice Rogers Brown.

Well, considering Spector said he wouldn't support any of the nominees who were the subject of the Gang of 14 compromise, JRB has a rather massive uphill battle.

Thank you, Lord! She has done the right thing for the country, the president and the Republican party!

[COEXERJ145]

Let's see how many of these howlers stick around to actually support Bush's next choice.

Few if any. The ones who were borderline mental over Miers (5-15 threads per day bashing her) were the same ones who also hated Roberts. They don't care who is nominated. All they care about is trying to attack President Bush. I'm sure their god, Coulter, is already writing her article trashing the next nominee and just has to add the name later.

[OXENinFLA]

This is so much better than her going through the hearing and then either not getting voted out of committee or having Repubs. vote against her.

[kellynla]

"Bait and Switch!"

Now let's get series about the nomination, W!

[mainepatsfan]

Yup and he needs a big fight with the left to do it.

[Viet Vet in Augusta GA]

Washington Post website confirms, no further details

[kjam22]

I agree .... it is going to get a lot more ugly.

[muawiyah]

Tend to agree with you. The only thing appropriate at this point is to PURGE Conservative ranks of the sunshine patriots. That starts with, interestingly enough, the banishment of National Review On Line and their running dog lackeys like the arch traitor "Chucky" Krauthammer.

Then we can get started on more detailed stuff.

[rightinthemiddle]

Although I didn't trash W over this, I am happy...

if he picks JANICE ROGERS BROWN!!!!!!!

I'm ready to start fighting the other guys...let's ROLL!

(does anybody have a vid cap from Braveheart?)
