Harriet Miers withdraws her nomination!

Wahoo! I'm so happy. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not all that sure that she would have been a bad nominee. But the fact that the conservatives were incredibly upset while many of the dems supported her (at least they just waited while the reps fought it out) obviously cant be a good thing for bush and the republican party. I seriously hope he puts up someone who really deserves it this time, cause lord knows there are a ton of people. That being said, I think that Miers was qualified. If you look at her record, its quite clear that she was, even though shes never been a judge. But the fact that she really didnt have any record, makes that nomination a mistake for the white house. There were countless reps speaking out and two GOP groups who were just about to start ad campaigns against Miers.
"It is clear that senators would not be satisfied until they gained access to internal documents concerning advice provided during her tenure at the White House -- disclosures that would undermine a president's ability to receive candid counsel," Bush said. "Harriet Miers' decision demonstrates her deep respect for this essential aspect of the constitutional separation of powers -- and confirms my deep respect and admiration for her." This is really a good point. This lady had a possibility of fulfilling one of the most important jobs in this country. The fact that she stepped down in order to save the white house scruitiny is quite admirable. Thank you harriet miers, and Bush, please save us the arguing this time....
