Shhhhh. Don't spoil the fun. This is all about flexing muscles, after all.
I hope President Bush nominates Michael Luttig, and that we aren't bitterly disappointed that Miers never had her chance to show us who she is.
This is a woman's seat; he will nominate a woman.
Given his limited choices, it will be Edith Clement (who was almost picked before Roberts) or Williams from SC (whom I know nothing about).
It will not be Brown.
The good news is that, hopefully, the ubers will now support whomever Bush puts forward. I'm listening to Laura Ingraham for the first time in months, and she is STILL trashing Miers while saying she did the right thing.
