Miers Withdraws
So Harriet Miers has withdrawn as the nominee for Supreme Court Justice.
I didn't like this pick from the first hour.
In her letter to the president, Miers said she was "concerned that the confirmation process presents a burden for the White House and its staff and it is not in the best interest of the country."Most posit that she stepped down due to the maelstrom of criticism regarding her competency for the job, that came from the both the left and the right of the political divide.
The White House said Miers had to withdraw over concerns that senators wanted documents of privileged discussions between the president and his top lawyer.
...But Democratic and Republican senators told CNN's Ed Henry that they hadn't asked for privileged documents.

Mom,
I thought you were going to comment on the absurdidty of the WH strategy. They are saying she withdrew because the Senate was going to ask questions about her record.
If not that, what would the role of the Senate be in the confirmation process?
I don't think anybody liked it from the first hour.
Some said "Wait and See" - once they saw, they agreed with you as well.
