The Fight Ends?
As soon as I landed in Memphis this morning on my way to Searcy, the news came in via emaila and voice mails. Miers withdraws.
This is less a victory for conservatives than a narrowly averted disaster. We are relieved and joyful, as we should be.
What next?
Not gloating. Not arguing about the veracity of the reasons given for the withdrawal. Not responding to the opportunistic charge that it just proves the power of the “radical right” over the administration.
Next comes the real fight. Ready?

On the AOL site today was a poll on whether George W. Bush would win election now, if people were voting. I guess I would still vote for him since a seat in the Supreme Court is still open, as that is the only reason I voted for W — in hope’s that our highest court might become a little more balanced and a little less of a leftist court.
