Miers Has Withdrawn

Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination to the Supreme Court.

Good for Ms. Miers.

Ms. Miers isn't a bad person - but she was a poor choice for the court. She was too much of an unknown quanity in terms of her judicial judgement. The Supreme Court is too important a body not to have a better idea of what her approach to law and the Constitution are.

And to those whose who worry about the Court's demographics - is the Court about politics - or the law? Find the best qualified people you can, regardless of their race, gender, or other chracteristics; find people who respect the law, and hold the Constitution supreme.

Now, back to the drawing board. I'm still agitating for Michael McConnell, but I'm no lawyer. And I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.
