Well I hope ya'll are happy!
Yeah, Harriet Miers was not the best pick. I think Savage Republican called her a B+ pick and I would probably concur. However, because not enough was known about her, I was willing to wait for the hearings....well now we will not get that chance. Because Ms. Miers removed her name from contention for the Supreme Court, we have handed the Dems a victory. The talking points (from Terry MacAuliff to Harry Reid to Joe Trippe to Pat Leahy) are already saying that the "radical right has scuttled this candidate!" They are already setting the stage that the next candidate had better be a "moderate" (aka pro-abortion) or they will be considered to be too extreme and thus a candidate for filibuster! Because of this little tantrum, WE are going to be seen as extreme and out of the mainstream!!!!!
I know that I was in the minority opinion on the Miers nomination, but I feel safe in predicting this. WHOEVER the President puts forth, regardless of their stellar qualifications and prior experience in front of the Senate Judiciary committee, will be considered to be extreme and unacceptable! Please understand, I have never been accused of being a pessimist. Quite the opposite is true - I have been accused of being an obnoxious optimist. However, we Republicans have set the next candidate up for failure. Period, end of discussion. Enjoy your victory now, all of you anti-Miers conservatives, because it is going to be short-lived. Regardless of who the next candidate is and no matter how qualified, the angry left is going to shoot them down. The only candidate that they will confirm will end up being to the LEFT of Justice O'Connor......
