Oh noes! Right wing bloggers are dissatisfied with Miers! Well, it looks like George Bush is gonna have to withdraw his nomination.

You guys got such big heads after “Rathergate.” The Miers nomination is going to show you guys how irrelevant you really are. Besides, do you guys honestly think Bush cares about the future of the Republican Party? Bush cares about Bush. Bush wants a friend on the Supreme Court. Bush puts friend on Supreme Court. End of story.

I wonder about partisanship today. Miers is an obvious crony. The conventional wisdom is that Democrats would’ve fought tooth and nail against another well-qualified conservative. So, if this nomination is hurting the Republican party, I guess the Democrats don’t care about putting up a fight. Hmm… I wonder whatever happened to: “What’s best for America?” On both sides.

In my estimation, what’s best for America is to oppose the pick of a crony, so it doesn’t set an example for future presidents. So it doesn’t say, “Hey, you want a pick for the Supreme Court without a confirmation battle? Pick a mediocre candidate who doesn’t please anyone! And while you’re at it, make sure that person’s your friend!”

I don’t care about what hurts what party. Any repercussions over this battle are long gone in time, while Miers will still sit on the court, making her decisions. Don’t you understand the stakes?
