Miers nomination withdrawn.
I told everybody here that she'd never make it to the hearings.
It's very telling that not a single Republican US Senator called for her
withdrawal.
They didn't come right out and say "get a new candidate"...but they sent
pretty strong signals:
"Sens. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have asked the
White House to release more information on the nonlegal work Miers has
performed there over the past five years.
Brownback, a Judiciary Committee member, cited concerns he had about Miers'
views on affirmative action following reports that she supported diversity
and numerical set-asides when she was president of the State Bar of Texas. "
