Miers withdraws
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, White House counsel Harriet Miers, abruptly withdrew from consideration on Thursday after fierce criticism from the right and the left about her credentials for the lifetime job. (link)
Buffalo Chips !!! The right criticized her because they weren’t sure if she drank the Neo-con Coolaid. If Repubs had gotten behind the nomination, the Dems would have tried to block it but I bet within a month she would be sitting on the bench.
Prediction:
Look for the next nomination to be ANOTHER person with close ties to the business community. Everybody is talking about Roe V Wade, but Bush, is trying to secure drilling rights. So he is going to pick somebody who will put a lid on environmental laws.
