I have not said a thing about this nomination, but when I heard Laura talking about this speech and another one this morning showing how Miers changes according to which audience she is speeking to, I think her withdrawing is the best thing.
I see alot of people upset here for various reasons. I see alot of conservative christians upset. but I would ask those people to read that thread I gave you the link on - she was going to "flip" on abortion anyway, I am convinced of it. the support she was getting from conservative christians thinking "she is one of us" - she was setting them up. Note I say "she", not Bush. I just think this Bush claim that he "knows her" - alot of that is based on her being loyal in the context of her working for him (an admirable trait mind you). but when she got into a position where she didn't have to answer to anyone, she would not have been a reliable vote for the next 20 years.
