I cant put it better than Hugh Hewitt
"I gave them a sword.": The consequences of the anti-Miers movement.
In his interviews with David Frost, Richard Nixon declared:
"I brought myself down. I gave them a sword and they stuck it in and they twisted it with relish."
I was on the fence on Miers... she might have been alright.. or she might have been another 'Souter'... influenced by her 'Senior Partners'' sense of compassion and purpose.
I sincerely hope that the repair for this fiasco will be the nomination of Janice Rogers Brown.
When the left on the judiciary panel brings up her supposed 'anti-minority' decisions, anyone with half a brain will be able to trump that with another of her decisions which are irrefutable as to 'minority rights'.
