It's Over
Harriet Miers Withdraws Nomination:
White House counsel Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
According to various media reports early Thursday, Miers sent a letter to President Bush requesting that he remove her name from consideration for the associate justice position.
Bush will reportedly honor her request.
Somewhere, Hugh Hewitt's mighty heart is breaking.
Maybe there's hope for the Packers after all.
UPDATE: The body is still warm and already the post-mortems have begun. I hope that supporters of Miers will not spend a lot of time and energy blaming Miers' critics for the nomination ending this way. The process was a debacle from start to finish, and, at the end of the day, the person who bears the ultimate responsibility for that debacle is George W. Bush.
