Harriet Miers has done the intelligent thing and resigned her nomination to the Supreme Court, considering the fact that she has never sat behind the bench in her whole career, and her legal escapades are about as memorable as 4-armed-Grimace. That’s not to say she couldn’t be a fantastic judge, but when you have nothing going for you professionally except your friendship with the President to rally senate support, that’s just not a whole lot. Actually, I was somewhat shocked that George couldn’t make this one stick, since he seems to be brilliant at pushing through even the least likely political appointments (read “John Bolton”).
Cheers to Mrs. Meirs for this intelligent decision, and putting the solidarity of the republican party, and the support for her friend above what would have been a tremendous promotion. (Read Google News on this topic)
