GOOD RIDDANCE

Miers bites the bullet.... Bush is still in trouble unless he names a real jurist to the post. It's not enough that somebody will vote to overturn Roe v Wade, because I doubt that more than a bare majority of Republicans think it would be a good idea to overturn a law that is thirty five years old. The problem Bush faces now is that Repubicans have stood up and challenged his leadership and aren't afraid to shine a spotlight on the things that bother them. If nothing else, the Republican Right let Bush know that they want quality, KNOWN quality, over a known vote on one narrow case. Bush still has the problems of possible grand jury indictments, some of his horrible agency appointments, and his refusal to police the border, all issues that were there before Miers but are now on the front burners. It ain't over, but at least Bush can try to rebuild. Below is the lone Miers supporter in the Republican Party after she heard the news....Below, first photos of Bush Supreme Court Selection Committee meeting after Miers appointment....
