George W is not the Pope. He is not infallible. He made a mistake. But it's a mistake which can and should be rectified. The nation need not settle for second or third best with this lifetime appointment. President Bush should take a "mulligan," withdraw this nomination and appoint someone such as Judge Janice Rogers Brown instead. Absent that, Ms. Miers should take herself out of the game - for the good of the conservative movement and for the good of the nation.

The doctrine of papal infallibility only covers pronouncements made ex cathedra on matters of faith or morals, not Supreme Court nominations...so even if President Bush had asked Pope Benedict XVI for advice and had followed his recommendation, the choice would not have infallibly correct.

How long has he been this stupid:

The fact is, with Republican kiesters warming 55 of the Senate's 100 seats, a superior Bork-like nominee could have been confirmed to join Justice Thomas and Justice Scalia and Chief Justice Roberts on the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

No, Muthy, you nitwit. They would be Borked.
