In a letter on Wednesday, Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, sought assurances that Miers would show no favoritism toward Bush if confirmed as a justice.
Yeah right.
The withdrawal stunned Washington on a day when the capital was awaiting potential bad news for the administration on another front - the possible indictments of senior White House aides in the
CIA leak case. Earlier in the week, the U.S. military death toll in
Iraq hit 2,000.
Bush, who said he reluctantly accepted Miers' decision to withdraw, must now go through the agonizing nomination process for a third time this fall.
What a douche.
Ok, so Miers is out, thats a relief, but it's still a little scary to think about who they'll nominate next.
