Judicial Nomination Withdrawal Yields Nothing but benefits
This editorial says what I had been saying about the Miers nomination. Ms. Miers was too much an unknown quantity. Conservatives didn't want to get hosed by a Souter 10 years hence.As to charges of 'sexism (whatever the f*ck that means ), conservatives ain't your Daddy's rightwinger Critical summary: In choosing Ms. Miers, Mr. Bush tried to avoid such a debate, perhaps because he thought he had enough other fights on his hands. But the avoidance cost him much more than had he lost after a pitched battle on principle. The biggest lesson of the Miers nomination is that Mr. Bush can't avoid the battle for control of the Supreme Court that he promised Americans he would make in two elections. Amen to that, baby! Bring it on! Posted by: badanov 2005-10-28 |
