I love how all the MSM is getting freaked out because the Senate actually too out a candidate because she could not prove her qualifications. I thought that was the ONLY reason, under the constitution, that they are allowed to stop a SC nomination for?

They never requested those docs, they simply defected. The threat was enough.

Had they done what they should have done, and closed ranks, while telling all of you to fly a kite, the process would have worked and possibly led to a denial, but we will never know will we?

Big mistake! New precedents, all the arguments we used before, like a "up or down vote" are all gone now! All credibility gone.

Political school will be starting soon. I sure hope you discover what happened here and how much damage this will do to the party. It is not going to be pretty when the coalition readjusts because the candidates demand it and lots of folks will be looking for a new home. They will not be able to trust this coalition any more they will move farther center just like they did the last time, and the time before that.

Complete nonsense. Miers voluntarily withdrew. If she'd chosen otherwise, she'd have gotten an up-or-down vote (preferably down).

Stop being a defeatist, and put on your history cap and thinking cap.

BTTT..it's sad day for the Republicans and America when our supposed "fellows" are rejoicing at their own defeat of the President.
