Miers withdraws

Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination to the Supreme Court. I now have a major problem, I have no one obvious to make fun of. And the hillarious Harriet Miers blog will have to be taken down.

Harriet Miers withdrew this morning as a nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.

In announcing the decision, Miers and President Bush cited their concern with the requests from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee for documents dealing with her work as White House counsel, papers that the administration has chosen to withhold as privileged.

Nope, can't have that, we can't actually tell the public what we do when we govern them. Good heavens no! So, I stand by my original prediction. Edith Jones nominated to the high Court, which will be greated with a filibuster showdown.
