Wow. Harriet Miers actually did it--she withdrew her nomination the Supreme Court.
In some ways I'm not surprised: The most reactionary of the religious and social conservatives in the country ate her alive for her ambiguous statements regarding choice and separation of church and state. Democrats complained (quietly, since we didn't want to overshadow the spectacle of Republicans eating their own) about Miers's qualifications to serve. No one, it seems, was pleased with her. But that's never stopped Bush and his single-mindedness before.
Makes me wonder who's left to choose from, given that there was a credible story (I can't find the link now) about other, more qualified folk withdrawing their names from consideration becuase they were afraid the process would be so ugly. Who in their right mind would step up now?
