God Bless Harriet Miers
I believe Harriet Miers has just saved her boss, President Bush, and the Republican Party from a nasty internal fight. I had previously written about the problems with nominating Miers, and unless she pleasantly shocked me during the confirmation hearings, I was going to express my desire that my senators vote no on her nomination.
Miers' withdrawal from consideration has given Bush another chance. I hope he'll nominate a strong nominee with an established constitutional philosophy. I hope he'll nominate a person who understands the role of a judge is that of an umpire, not a player. I hope he'll nominate a person who is in good health and under 50 years-of-age who will be around to protect the rights of Americans for decades to come.
