I have a feeling that this was a Wellstone memorial moment for the conservative movement. It has seriously exposed the venality of so-called pundits and experts who did not get their pick for SCOTUS. President Bush puts his total energy on the line every day to advance his programs, and I will always believe that he thought he was making a good choice. Why would he want to cripple himself, or his party?

This bullying of Miers has given great ammunition to the Schumers, Leahys, Kennedys, Clintons, etc of the left.

Agreed - Some on the "right" really went off the deep end on this issue -

And the bottom line is many have shown themselves to be no different (intellectually speaking) from the DEM's arguments - In that they do NOT trust GWB - They only trust the "outcomes" they like -

I.E. DEM's don't trust GWB on going to war - Those on the right don't trust GWB judgment on the war either...they only agree because THEY feel going to war is right (themselves) when they are completely in the dark to 50% of the information surrounding going to war - But they agree with the outcome of going to war so they say the support GWB -
