Harriet Miers withdraws her nomination. Who’s surprised? This nomination was screwed up for the start. Does anyone remember a nominee who filled out the questionnaire have it handed back to them stamped incomplete? What about her meeting with Arlen Spector? How could she fumble that one? He was trying to help her. So, now who’s next? I look for Bush to continue his missteps. The smart move would be a middle of the road academic powerhouse that would get confirmed. The bad move would be some Right Wing neo-con that would polarize the country, the Republican party and stall in committee.
