Thanks, Harriet

Miers withdraws, after the right revolts. She claims she's withdrawing because she doesn't want to have to turn over documents from her work in the executive branch, wanting to preserve the sanctity of those communications.

So this is a two fer: a black-eye for Bush and it provides vindication and justification for the Democratic filibusters of Miguel Estrada and John Bolton, because they wouldn't turn over the relevant information.

Oh, and let's not forget that the right's objection to Miers on ideological grounds (i.e. not sure she was conservative enough or the right type of conservative) will dovetail nicely for Democrats when they now oppose Bush's next nominee on ideological grounds. They've provided us some great cover on this issue.

Thanks for recommending Harriet, Harry Reid. Good work.
