I hear you. But there is an overarching political process that played with the Miers nomination in a way that does not come into play with the others. The others have some amunt of background that admits a debate on their merits. Details of those debates are present in the Congressional Record.
Plus...don't you think it would be been interesting, and possible enlightening to find out who would have voted for her and those who would have had the integrity to NOT fall into party line..and vote against her?
I think the reason given for pulling the nomination, and the likely reason for withholding advise & consent would have coincided for many Senators. To wit, lack of information or insight into the nominee's judicial philosophy - Senator's are wise to not play "this much" roulette with what should be a reasoned decision.
Given a nomination of a certain degree of stealth, I would like to hear the Senators go on record as to their stance on that matter of principle - but I prefer that the issue of "stealth" not be introduced by the President in the first place.
I just hope you aren't like some of the freepers that just want to keep it up...
Doesn't anyone ever "win" with class anymore?
If they looked at the man that they have been intent on smearing for over three weeks...they MIGHT see class in action.
