Let Her Speak, I Guess
A number in the Blogosphere have decided to now wait until the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. There's not much more to be said that will change anyone's mind, they say, ironically taking the "shut up and trust me" advice for now. Given that a sudden withdrawal by Miers seems remote, I think that's probably best.
If Miers is going to be rejected, as I think she should, her preformance before the Committee will be the crucible that matters. This problem was created by President Bush. Still, Miers should have known better than to accept. She should answer why she did, placing herself ahead of so many other well-qualified (dare I say better qualified) candidates.
So, I will wait, too, watching and readiing. FYI, while this topic is outside their raison d'être, I think Anti-Strib has done some excellent work on this issue.
