I hope that this withdrawal is the trough of this presidency, and that he’ll quickly nominate a worthy candidate. My suggestion (agreeing with some over at The Corner)–Ted Olson. He’s got sterling credentials, and it would be very tough for the Democrats to beat him up in the hearings, because he’ll bring a natural sympathy due to his loss in the war.

Oh, and by the way, are these people serious? The conspiracy mongery on the left apparently knows no bounds.

I’m listening to DiFi, who just informed us that Miers’ answers to her questions were not fulsome. I continue to be amazed that California chooses to have two of the dimmest bulbs in the Senate (and that’s a tough competition) represent them in that body.
