Seacrest out. Now Miers out, too.

Posted 27 Oct 2005 in liberals, SCOTUS

After weeks of being buffetted by both sides, Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination for SCOTUS justice.

Shockeroo.

I just hope that President Bush can (quickly) get another nominee whose qualifications are better suited for the Supreme Court. And it should be a strict constructionist (as promised) with a judicial track record. Someone that conservatives can get behind and support through what will surely be a nasty debate and confirmation process.

And I hope conservatives will remember which side they’re on this time. A lot of us ran too many plays from the Liberal playbook on this one.

There are a lot of good, qualified candidates out there. Let’s hope Bush stumbles across one.

UPDATE
As expected, bloggers are sounding off all over their collective shorts…

LaShawn Barber: “But I predict George Bush will nominate another unqualified person. Perhaps his tailor. Or his dentist. Or his dog walker.”

Captain Ed: “Now can we nominate a candidate whose qualities and track record presumes we control the Senate?”

Power Line: “I feel sorry for Miers; she was caught in a crossfire, and never really had a chance to speak for herself. But what we’ve seen so far may be only a tune-up for what awaits the next nominee.”

Ace Of Spades: “My own reaction: I’m glad the damage has been stopped. This is a bad time for the Bush Administration, and we don’t need a split in the base, the only thing keeping the guy afloat.”

The Anchoress: “So, Harriet is gone, farewell, Harriet! I expect the next time David Frum meets you, or any mutual acquaintance, he will plead, like Tessio in The Godfather, ‘tell the President I always liked him; it was just business.’”

Ex-Donkey posted a quiz where you can review 16 potential nominees and determine who you would choose as the next SCOTUS candidate.
