"Miers will just invoke the Ginsberg rule and refuse to answer any questions about issues that might possibly come up before the court in the future."
ive made this point time and time again, as well as bork and others. it doesnt matter-- the 'wait for the hearings' mantra marches on.
we know better though.
The worst part is that the GOP senators will vote for confirmation just to be loyal to the party and avoid a party civil war.
If Miers makes it to the hearings, it will depress a significant part of the GOP base for the 2006 elections. The democrats must be envious - they couldn't dream of crafting a better wedge issue.
