Bush is so stubborn he'll probably nominate someone even worse just to "show us who's boss".
If that's the case, the White House cleaning staff had better start vetting candidates.
According to the Constitution, WE, the people, are boss. Unless we forget that and treat our politicians as Kings.
After the beating he's taken over Miers, he KNOWS who's boss, and that's WE THE PEOPLE who elected him. If not for the conservative base, John Kerry would have nominated Laurence Tribe to fill this spot.
If he nominates someone worse, he'd better be prepared to lose all of his supporters with the libs circling in with bogus indictments and a desire to impeach.
W can definitely use a vibrant, fire-breathing base right about now, and a great nomination will have just that effect.
