I would like Jim Rob to post a poll on FR and ask "who on FreeRepublic.com knows Meirs better than President Bush?", and see what happens.
Very, very bad move, IMO to let her go; very wrong move to attack him over this. Not good at all. Sadly, I only hope the person who gets confirmed is strongly supported by those who opposed Miers, and that this person will support R.v.W. It would be the ultimate irony.

Contrary to many, I was inspired because Pres. Bush knew Miers so well.

He has done excellently overall with his choices to this point.

I wonder why no one called Karen Hughes a crony?

And it's my prayer that the next nominee is QUALIFIED to sit on SCOTUS, has proven conservative ideologies, does NOT support Roe v. Wade and does NOT look to European law to make their decisions.

I totally agree with your statement. I just finished listening to Rush trying to convince himself the democrats are now running scared. I agree with Rush 90% of the time but this last assessment is just plain wrong.

Miers should have had her day before the judicial committee. That is where her nomination should have ended if it was to be ended.

With Miers withdrawing, the left has been given hope, talking points, and a renewed attack on the religious right. After the 2004 election democrats were hinting by their actions the strategy for 2006 and 2008. They feel, and rightly so, that they did not make the case that the Republican Party was controlled by the religious right. The word "evangelicals" to describe religious Conservatives started almost immediately after the election. The democrats know that the word "evangelical" is not always seen in a favorable light. Now they democrats have been given a gift thanks to the Buchananites, Coulters, Ingrahams, Limbaughs,Wills, and Hannitys. All but Buchanan I respected much until recently. Now they have lost some credibility in my eyes. They got what they wanted and in turn hurt the Republican Party in doing so.

Add to this mess the McCain gang in the senate and this is a disaster.

The best chance to get what they wanted in a Supreme Court nominee may have been killed by the very people who wanted it most.

Bush pushed a judicial Trojan Horse to the gates of the Supreme court, and anti-Miers gang screamed that there was person inside.
