Sigh


The “antiwar” Democrats start to crumble.



Before they’ve even started, the “antiwar” Democrats are starting to fold:

percentage. Yet our elected Congresscritters continue to ignore this.

Conservative Revolt Against Miers Grows
. “A growing chorus of
conservatives” cast skepticism on President Bush’s selection of Harriet

The Washington Post
calls it a “conservative uprising” and notes many former Bush allies
say the Miers pick “was a betrayal of years of struggle to move the

They are completely correct about her credentials. Nominating someone with no experience as a judge is insulting to the country.
