You're smoking some good stuff if you think it was Miers and not the White House that pulled the plug on this. If she had 51 votes in the Senate, this wouldn't be happening, "constitutional crisis" or not.

I've thought all along that this nomination was a ploy to get an extremely conservative ideologue on the bench. If you nominate someone who's completely unqualified to serve and allow the opposition to shoot him/her down, it becomes that much harder for the opposition to then shoot down the next nominee because invariably he or she is vastly "better" because they're more qualified than the first. The comparison alone makes it harder to sway public opinion against the second nominee.

But I think the White House couldn't imagine that the opposition would come from within their own ranks. That part shocked a lot of people. And Democrats, in a rare moment, showed great intelligence in allowing conservatives to be the ones to take down Miers. By doing so, one would think that their bullet is still in the chamber, so to speak.

That's just what I think though. Yet after tomorrow, the entire game may change.

"The White House said Miers had to withdraw over concerns that senators wanted documents of privileged discussions between the president and his top lawyer."

Makes you wonder what Bush was so worried about. Nothing would really surprise me anymore.

from the Washington Times

"White House senior staff are starting to ask outside people, saying, 'We're not discussing pulling out her nomination, but if we were to, do you have any advice as to how we should do it?' " a conservative Republican with ties to the White House told The Washington Times.

I guess someone told them that it would be best if she withdrew her nomination herself.

Thank God, being selected solely because you are a woman isnt a reason to be on supreme court.
