By withdrawing her nomination, Harriet Miers spared herself an agonizing inquisition and probable rejection by the Senate and did George W. Bush the greatest service of her career. She may just have helped him save his presidency.
Like a school marm indulging a teacher’s pet, Miss Miers just gave George Bush permission to retake the final exam he booted badly. She has given him a second chance to succeed where Nixon, Ford, Reagan and his father all failed: To become the president who rang down the curtain on 50 years of judicial tyranny and reshaped the Supreme Court into the great constitutionalist body the Founding Fathers intended.
George Bush is a lucky man to have a friend like Harriet Miers.
Had her nomination been pursued . . .

I do not like Pat Buchanan. He is too much like Senator Taft.

To become the president who rang down the curtain on 50 years of judicial tyranny and reshaped the Supreme Court into the great constitutionalist body the Founding Fathers intended.Whoa whoa whoa. It's one seat of 9. There's a balance of 4 conservatives (ish) to 4 liberals with one swing vote. By changing that swing vote to a conservative vote, he hasn't "reshaped" the Supreme Court, he just tilted it a tiny bit. Replacing a liberal with a conservative or a conservative with a liberal would reshape it, but not solidifying a swing vote.
And remember: we have no way of knowing how a justice will act once it is appointed.

I want Buchanan, Coulter, Kriston, Lott, Krauthammer and all the other detractors to just stuff a sock in it. I'm sick of hearing from all of them. The trashing that this lady took was simply unconscionable!
To: bigsky
Why can't someone just dispute what he has said in the article rather than attack PB personally? One has to rummage through 350 posts that say Go Pat Go--far away, etc. Really, get over it--he makes some valid points here.
And, no, I never voted for the guy. But, I like hearing what he has to say. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don't.

President Bush just survived a barrel ride over Niagara Falls. A man of reasonable intelligence would not risk it a second time. We shall see Pat.

I have the feeling that Cheney is the target now. The justice thing is a sideshow for the dems.

This is over the top, but it is certainly true that Ms. Miers did spare President Bush some pain.
