Under these circumstancs, the least bad solution is for the president to withdraw this nomination now, before he does himself further and growing harm.

I'm really tired of hearing this. If there's one thing everyone should've learned about Bush by now, it's that he NEVER withdraws. In fact, pestering about withdrawals might just make him more adamant in refusing to do so. This is one of his strengths; it's refreshing to have a President who will actually stick to something he does.

The only way Miers' nomination will be withdrawn is if Miers herself does it. Bush won't.

Then we can only hope she's reading David Frum.

...withdraw the nomination...

Proof of this person's lack of knowledge in the matter. Miers will be confirmed.

You have to admit Bush's support for the Meirs nomination is unusual. This is the first time Bush has shown even marginal support for one of his nominations to the federal bench.

Prior to Meirs, Bush 'nominated and forgot', leaving his nominees to their own devices to be confirmed. But the Bush machine support for Meirs includes, in some cases, left-wing tactics, such as deceit and slurs. One would think Meirs was a Clinton or a Kennedy, with all the praise the Bush's are heaping onto her.

My question is, what is so special about Meirs that has caused the president, first lady, and his other cronies to throw slurs at his conservative base, when their support for the previous (conservative) nominees to the bench was weak, at best?

And the michael brown resignation was all michael brown's idea, right?

There are resignations, and then there are resignations.
