Although I agree that Alito is a better candidate than Meiers, I will never agree with the tactics used to get Meiers to withdraw. Many conservative pundits lost my respect over their behavior last fall, and they will have a hard time regaining it.

You are not alone.

I don't agree, because the minute that Miers was yanked, Bush woke up, started fighting back, and his poll numbers have rebounded.

I am infuriated by this ridiculous canard by Biden and others that we must have ideological balance on the court. Wrong again, Biden. That's what elections are for. I don't recall any such standard or alarm when a liberal (Ginsburg) replaced a moderate/conservative (Byron White).

Call Democratic senators offices and raise Hell.
