Get a room, you two...
Miers was a disaster. She would have been Souter II. If that is the price of supporting President Bush, the price is too damn high.
And I am the biggest Bushbot I know...
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?
I supported her pretty strongly for a long time, but I have to say, the 1993 speech did concern me.....
I am glad she has withdrawn.
The idea that this will weaken Bush for the rest of the term is too far. She withdrew of her own accord; Bush didn't tell her to leave (that we know of).
Now, Bush needs to put up somebody we all can like yet will get some moderate Dem votes, at least enough to win.
