Well, there should be a bunch on happy people on this board today.
Wow...I was pretty close on the date/time prediction thread.
I had said 1PM today.
I'm positively giddy. I'm also grateful to Ms. Miers for her courageous act.
I was not a Miers fan particularly....but I remember how upset a lot of us were over the GANG of 14's power in the Senate to keep Frist from calling for the Nuke option....
We were FRIED because 14 Senators had so much power....but, it seems like it is now just a relatively small amount of PUNDITS that have made this decision....are we happy about THAT???
Think about it...Miers NEVER GOT A HEARING....and yet the vocal pundits who have the "bully pulpit" of the press...have hammered and hammered until she quit...but worse, until THE POTUS had to accept.
This has nothing to do with Miers per se...this has no set a precedent that a minority of people....can sway a process before it has even gone to completion...and most of the people doing the swaying WERE NOT ELECTED.
