Miers WithdrawsThis is the only sensible thing that's happened since she was nominated. We don't get many "do-overs" in life, Mr. President. So let's "do-it-over" better, shall we? Some really tepid B.S. from the article: Under withering attack from conservatives, President...Delay the Alito Hearings Until 2045
Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. It's the Democratic way. Senate Democrats pushed on Tuesday for a 2006 date for hearings on Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, challenging President Bush's call for confirmation by year's end. "There's no way you can do an..."Scalito"
A bio of Samuel Alito, the man I mentioned earlier as moving hot on Tradesports this morning. Sounds like there's lots of things to recommend Judge Alito. Nicknamed "Scalito" for views resembling those of conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia,..."Sloppy Seconds"

Tuesday, though he says it is too early to draw any conclusions about the veteran judge.Johnson said it would be ?some time? before he makes a decision about the conservative nominee, who already faces opposition from several liberal groups and abortion-rights supporters.OK. Not too bad for this stage of things.
Later, in a conference call with reporters, Johnson said he hoped the hearing process would move quickly but be thorough.Still sounds reasonable, eh? But wait...
He said he would not rule out a filibuster from his party. ?I would leave all those options on the table,? he said.After all this, the Chief forms a mental image of Senator Tim carefully holding a moist finger up to check the wind direction before he says anything definite.
