But the conservative political consultant said that he had received such a query from Sara Taylor, director of the Office of White House Political Affairs. Miss Taylor denied making any such calls. A second Republican, who is the leader of a conservative interest group and has ties to the White House, confirmed that calls are being made.

What we can tell is that the political gamesters are out in force. Nominations have been withdrawn and nominees have withdrawn themselves in the past and I don't remember the house burning down.

I have been following Miers and I do not believe she was a good choice made by the President. I honestly believe he thought she would not be grilled and there would not be a fight. This is where the President should tell his advisers to shut up for once and listen to the base. We are ready for a fight with the Democrats. The battle is worth it to get the Supreme Court back on track when it comes to deciding cases by the Rule of Law and using the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the land.
