Fun with Correlation
Hmmm. Do you think this story about Bush's low approval numbers and this story about Harriet Miers on Capitol Hill are related? Or this story about her visit with Senator Arlen Specter?
Not every nominee to the Supreme Court is going to be of the same caliber as John Roberts, whose knowledge of Constitutional law was impressive. But if these stories are correct, then Miers is already showing she has little understanding of the importance or meaning of some pretty significant legal precedents in constitutional law.
Supporters of Harriet Miers have talked of how supportive the base is of the president. I think the dropping poll numbers show that more Republicans are starting to realize just how bad a pick Miers is and how poorly it reflects on the man who nominated her. Miers should withdraw her nomination, and soon, or the president should do it for her. Loyalty is admirable, but only so long as the recipient of that loyalty is deserving.
