Good catch.
If the Miers proponents had powerful substantive supporting evidence, it would have been out weeks ago. Threats, shame and intimidation are coalition BUSTING tools, not coalition BUILDING tools. And we come full circle to the "what was President Bush thinking?" discussion.
Just for the thread, back to Leonard Leo, it seems he quietly resigned his WH assignment on the 19th.
Several members of the Federalist Society who know Mr. Leo have said that they think he is only backing Miss Miers out of loyalty to the Bush administration rather than support on the merits.Mr. Leo said that he announced his departure in an Oct. 19 e-mail and that it was "effective immediately."
But as of yesterday, even Republicans working closely with him on the nomination said they had no idea Mr. Leo had relinquished his duties.
Mr. Leo had worked as the "campaign manager," organizing the massive support among conservatives for the confirmation of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., according to a source close to Mr. Leo. But with the deep disappointment among conservatives over the Miers nomination, "there's really no campaign here," the source said.

So, has she turned in her test yet?
I read the Hewitt post, btw. Rambling mess, lots of hopeless thrashing around.
