Wingnuts Win, Miers Withdraws

Armando from Daily Kos provides immediately responses.

The Wingnuts would not even wait for the confirmation process to unfold. The straw the broke the camel's back was, without a doubt, the disclosure of Miers' 1993 speech which may have signalled that Miers would uphold Roe.

Ultimately, the reactionary reaction is what we call a litmus test, as Armando, indicates in the heading of his piece examining the Republican flip-flops regarding Miers and her muddled speech on a woman's right to choose...

Reactions, posted at The Washington Post, are mixed and typical. My favorite:

"There was also an undercurrent from the liberals in the Senate which suggested that anyone who attends church regularly is biased and should be excluded from public service." _ Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the conservative Traditional Values Coalition.

Yep, always blaming the liberals, when, in reality, it was the radical right who ousted Miers because she was not ultraconservative and activist enough. The Reverend is campaigning, not attending to his flock.
