A Final Word On Miers

We shall see what we shall see. From here on in there’s really nothing to be said until the confirmation hearings actually begin (save for the unexpected bit of information). And so, as Wittgenstein said, “Whereof we cannot speak, therefore we must be silent” (I just put that in there to drive the anti-elitists bonkers; I actually hate Wittgenstein). But here’s what’s clear, six days into this process. Anybody who assumes this nomination is going to sail through–for whatever reason you can come up with, from the notion that the Dems understand she’s the best they’ll get and will be easy on her to the idea that the president will successfully enforce party discipline on GOP members on behalf of a nominee nobody but Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn seems enthusiastic about–is kidding himself.
