They can freely say they were willing to support the President's nominee, but she was sunk by the "radical right wing". Whomever the next nominee is -- unless he/she's definitely more liberal/moderate than Miers, will be portrayed as a pick forced on the President by the Terry Schiavo/Pat Robertson freaky right wing, and opposed on that basis.

Yep. Bush "is captive to his right wing." That will be the theme, especially if he picks someone who has openly supported overturning Roe v. Wade.

Every single far-right choice will be an "exceptional situation," subject to the filbuster.

You just watch.

If I were Bush, I'd ask O'Connor to stay on for a year or so, then try again right before the election.

Ingraham is STILL trashing Miers, railing about the speech.

You won Laura. You won. You are disgraceful by continuing in your jihad against Miers.
