Idiot Court Nominations

Well, Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination today. The administration would like us to believe that her withdrawal was because the Senate wanted to violate executive privilege by demanding documents from Miers about her service for the president. The administration really does think we're idiots. The documents issue was just a gracious way for Miers to bow out.

Besides, I really think there shouldn't be a documents issue. In essence, Miers' client is not the president, but the American people. Thus, we should be entitled to know what goes on.

It will now be interesting to see who the next nominee is.
