True.
President Bush could have sent a qualified nominee.
I don't buy that. Most of you are blaming past incivilities on the fact that the president nominated Miers. It's like the man who said, "Officer, it wasn't my fault I bashed my wife's face in. SHE messed up dinner!"
It was president Bush's fault that many opposed this nomination. The vitriol, the sheer viciousness of the opposition, however, was NOT his fault.
