This shows that public outrage CAN make a difference. Don't be afraid to speak your mind, it DOES make a difference!!!!

I think the public had nothing to do with it... I think this was planned from the very beginning... put a candidate forward who is laughable, get the Republicans and Democrats to make a "stink", withdraw her when the indictments are about to be released, put someone in the Supreme Court who will REALLY screw us over.

[somebigguy]

crap.

Obviously this is bad news for liberals. Meirs was the absolute weakest candidate Bush could have nominated, garrantee you the next one is far right.

For once, we are in agreement. Not about Miers.

what do you mean, not about miers? I never said gave any real opinion of her, besides I thought she was weak. You should have heard the people on the news talk about her supreme court hearings, even on fox news. According to them, she was barely speaking, so the politicians interviewing her could barely hear her, and most of what she said was "constitutional cliches".

[Gold9472]

Ok. I agree that Miers was the worst possible candidate... I think that was on purpose.

[jetsetlemming]

how do you figure?
