I have to say, I like Estrada for demographic reasons, both age and heritage. Also I like him for sticking it to the Dims who fillibustered him.
The president is in the position now of saying to the Dims that if they wanted someone like Miers, they should have supported her.
Miers was killed off by the far right.
Don't blame her withdrawal on the Democrats.
The Democrats where the only ones who said they didn't have a problem with Miers. She had more vocal support from Leahy than from Brownback.
We'll need a hell of a lot better reason than that, like, his actual understanding of the Constitution. Now is NOT the time for a partisan food fight that has no constitutional dimension to it.
