I'm beginning to subscribe to the theory that he's having to do it because of OUR people too.
Or maybe it's a simple as the President knowing what's in her heart and given the current climate in the Senate he did what he thought was best. After all you have to imagine that he and Harriet have probably prayed about every document that she's put on his desk.
But you can't figure that a guy like Karl Rove may have given the pundit flamethrowers a little ammo in whatever way he could. And that would be a mind-blowing bit of strategery given the fallout from her nomination.
Popular sentiment among those who disagree with Miers' nomination is that the President is a coward. One even suggested the President was corrupt.
These are our people talking.
The RINOs in the Senate are responsible for this situation. If we had pulled the trigger back then, we'd have a clear field for getting a known conservative justice confirmed right now. Instead we have to entice the Democrats to filibuster Miers so we can put the pressure on the RINOs to vote for a rule change to end the filibuster on Presidential nominees, so that the next conservative nominee to the Supreme Court will have a chance at confirmation even if we don't get a 2/3 majority in the Senate next year.
