I was not a Miers fan particularly....but I remember how upset a lot of us were over the GANG of 14's power in the Senate to keep Frist from calling for the Nuke option....
We were FRIED because 14 Senators had so much power....but, it seems like it is now just a relatively small amount of PUNDITS that have made this decision....are we happy about THAT???
Think about it...Miers NEVER GOT A HEARING....and yet the vocal pundits who have the "bully pulpit" of the press...have hammered and hammered until she quit...but worse, until THE POTUS had to accept.
This has nothing to do with Miers per se...this has no set a precedent that a minority of people....can sway a process before it has even gone to completion...and most of the people doing the swaying WERE NOT ELECTED.
I believe the White House saw the handwriting on the wall when Republican senators began to discuss voting against her; pundits didn't make this decision.
Not,it was a whole base of conservatives.
