Harriet Miers withdrew her name from nomination to the Supreme Court today citing concerns about having to maintain confidentiality about White House transactions. Dubyah "reluctantly" accepted her withdrawel.
A number of thoughts immediately come to mind.
1. What kind of White House legal transactions are going on that need to be kept confidential from Congress and the American people? The mind boggles. What have you two been planning? Going to rat out another CIA agent or are you thinking of blowing an FBI agents cover just to try something different?
2. What does Dubyah do now? I suppose he has two choices. Either he can choose a right wing extremist judge and hope the Republican majority sees him through or he can go for another individual with a resume similar to Justice Roberts. Let's hope he goes with the latter course.
3. Is it possible he can find someone worse? Oh it's possible all right, especially when you consider he appears to have surrounded himself with political hacks rather than qualified advisors. I have a radical thought, how about asking the American Bar Association for advice?
Maybe, just maybe, Dubyah's current political vulnerability will force him to do something marginally intelligent, but I doubt it.
