you're right, it is worth fighting for, but if you do not have to go looking for confrontation. My objection to Harriet Miers is that there are many other far more qualified candidates. There are very conservative candidates that are highly qualified that can be confirmed without things going nuclear. That is the path Bush needs to take now.
Don't get me wrong, I am glad she withdrew her name. I don't want to be surprised by any more supreme court picks. I don't like the "trust me" route. There are a lot of good conservative picks out there and if it means a struggle to get them thru then so be it. And I also don't subsribe to the thought that it HAS to be a woman. Pick the most qualified, period.
