"What would you like people to do - observe a week-long period of mourning during which we sit around somberly..."

I don't know about "people" showing Miers respect but I certainly didn't expect you to give her the least little morsel..

More from Miers forced withdrawal letter, a fellow loyal conservative you knifed to death and continue to trash...

"As I stated in my acceptance remarks in the Oval Office, the strength and independence of our three branches of government are critical to the continued success of this great Nation. Repeatedly in the course of the process of confirmation for nominees for other positions, I have steadfastly maintained that the independence of the Executive Branch be preserved and its confidential documents and information not be released to further a confirmation process. I feel compelled to adhere to this position, especially related to my own nomination. Protection of the prerogatives of the Executive Branch and continued pursuit of my confirmation are in tension. I have decided that seeking my confirmation should yield."

Even as we speak, I am printing off Harriet's epistle, and will read and reflect on it throughout the day.

Miers, a fellow . . . conservative.

You apparently consider people who favor "self-determination" on abortion, quotas and set-asides as your "fellow conservatives." I don't.

I don't think there's going to be enough room on this thing for both you and Harriet to use it simulatneously.

I suggest you take it in alternating shifts.
