A Category Four Pooch ScrewThat, I say with considerable reluctance, is my judgment on the Harriet Miers nomination. Part of my reluctance comes from the fact that Powerline and Hugh Hewitt have been defending Miers. Hewitt is an authoritative voice in the conservative blogosphere,...The Baseball Body Blow
