Miers Withdrawal
The politics continue post Miers withdrawal from consideration for the Supreme Court. I love how the Democrats are trying to just let the Republicans kill each other over this.
“There was not one Democrat who said she should withdraw,” Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said. She was one of many Senate Democrats articulating that point on Thursday.
But what I find interesting about that quote is that just a nine days ago this article quotes Senator Boxer as saying:
Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., said Miers has taken “the most extreme position of anyone I have ever known on abortion, assuming she believes that there ought to be a constitutional ban on abortion which would make it a crime except if a woman’s life is at stake.”
I can tell you this — Barbara Boxer is just sad she couldn’t grandstand some more at Mier’s expense. If that’s the most extreme position she knows of anyone having then she doesn’t know very many people. Point being that the democrats are just pretending to be completely innocent in this battle while they reload and prepare to slam on the next nominee.
