Harriet Miers, Presidential Counsel and SCOTUS nominee, withdrew from consideration for the open Supreme Court seat this morning. I'm of two minds about this, much as I was about her nomination.
She is obviously a competent woman and an acceptable lawyer (hell, she was a woman AND Texas Bar head in a time when 'wimmen' Texas DID NOT get major positions). She is obviously a Bush sycophant. Everything else about her is a little vague.
Given a number of her previous statements and positions, I wasn't thrilled with her as a candidate for the Supremes. However, given Bush's record, and the other potential nominees out there, she was probably about as good as we could hope for (what's next? Janice Brown?)
I have the feeling that we on the left will miss her before long.
