Let's get a firebrand - and please, no finger pointing. Miers took one for the team - appropriate in this World Series time.

E.D. Hill just said that a list of people he was considering asked to be removed because they didn't want to go through the hearings process. Can you blame them?

I had predicted it by Friday, but now, at least, we can move forward with a more competent nominee.

Just remember most of the people who opposed Miers were the same who opposed Roberts and oppose everything the Preisdent does. They hate him just as much as the kook left does which is why they sound more and more like them every day.

Scalia just said that he would not let himself be nominated today because of the personal abuse a nominee gets.

This is the beginning of the bush/rove push-back.

We thought we were at war before? Ain't seen nothing like what's to come, especially if indictments are handed down. The media is totally out of control.

This is Republicans vs. MediaCrats (the Dems are just too ineffective to be considered a serious opponent). I've wanted to take on the media for 20 years...and now it's going to happen. Yahoooooo!

Janice Rogers Brown. I think she was who GWB had in mind from the beginning.
