"Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers pulls out

amid opposition from Bush's base".

:yh_brokeh I just can't believe it.:wah: Now, will the real nominee please stand up? Harriet Miers should get a purple heart for taking a bullet for the President.

I think the President has a male in mind. Now he can say he tried a female but nobody liked her.

This has made me think of something I am sure I read somewhere that in certain counties (it may have been states) that judges are a political appointment, is this correct and if so how can the bedrock of the judiciary, i.e. impartiality be guaranteed. If I have this wrong apologies I must have dreamt it:)

She was doomed from the git go.

The President should be ashamed for putting her in that position in the first place. She impressed no one and lost support the more she met with people. They had to stop the bleeding.
