Come on Hugh. Frist told Bush that Miers did not have the support of the GOP caucus. Ya, they told Bush, rather than the cameras. But that was what tanked Miers, no matter how you spin it. Stop spinning Hugh. It really isn't necessary.

David Frum, Bill Kristol, Ann "Impeach Bush" Coulter, et al, will never be able to demand, of the Democrats "give our nominees an up-or-down vote."
The process has been bastardized.

Now, the Democrats have free rein. LOL - I love you Hugh, but it is delusional to think they DIDN'T have free reign before this.
As if precedent, or anything else for that matter, would ever stop the 'Rats from tactics they felt would help them maintain power.
The family squabble is over Hugh, (and quidnunc). Time for W to do the right thing and for everyone to come on board.

"give our nominees an up-or-down vote."That standard didn't last long.

Bush could nominate the White House janitor and Hugh Hewett would fall over over himself to defend the pick.
To: sinkspur
David Frum, Bill Kristol, Ann "Impeach Bush" Coulter, et al, will never be able to demand, of the Democrats "give our nominees an up-or-down vote." If she hadn't withdrawn, she'd have had her up-or-down vote.
And there's no doubt about the outcome.

Miers could have had an up or down vote, and maybe have been confirmed with Dem votes. Bush decided not to cross the GOP caucus, and declare war. He made a political judgment. The yammerings of the right wing pressure groups I don't think had that much impact on the senators frankly. The accumlating merits did. THE SPEECH did (it certainly sent me over the side). Time to move on. I think the significance of all of this is overblown, including that Bush choosing someone more "reliable," more "seasoned," with more gravitas, will give the Dems much traction either. The net impact of the Miers affair will be very marginal, over time, and indeed vis a vis the next nominee.

And there's no doubt about the outcome. There certainly was, albeit with Pubbie bodies littering the floor.

What a RINO twerp! Who has laid down on the job of dumping the lithium in HH's oatmeal every morning? It really shows.

Which would have been fine. We would have kept the moral high ground, but we didn't. We gave it away by acting just like democrats.
