Point taken. Will is part of the larger problem insofar as he threw his rhetorical weight behind the damnable "Gang of 14".
Look, I'm no fan of the little bow-tied weenie. He looked down that patrician nose at Reagan early on as well. Meh.
But, when he's got a point about something, hey, he's got a point. And I think he's got a point about better nominees being passed up. Even if his previous gasbaggery would have made confirming those potential nominees more difficult.
When I heard about the Miers nomination, I was disappointed. Then I thought about the politics envolved and listened to the woman. Now I think she is indeed the best nominee, because she is a solid conservative who is likely to be confirmed. Maybe some facts will come out contrawise, but they haven't thus far.
I don't understand those people who say they want a fight. Especially since they don't know they can win that fight. My best guess is that they would lose. If that happens, I don't think they will slap Bush on the back and thank him for a great dust up.
The goal is 5 votes that uphold the constitution. Miers is a step in that direction.
