More on Miers

From Reuters:

WASHINGTON - Leading Republican and Democratic senators said on Sunday they do not expect President George W. Bush to withdraw Harriet Miers' U.S. Supreme Court nomination despite fierce criticism of her by conservatives and liberals. "I haven't seen anything coming from the White House that says that they're going to pull this nomination," said Kansas Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on "Fox News Sunday."

This follows Democrat Senator Charles Schumer's recent statement that Miers does not have the votes in the Senate to be confirmed for the Supreme Court and confirmation hearings "will be make or break ... in a way they haven't been for any other nominee."

The Truth Laid Bare is running an online poll of bloggers asking if they support, oppose, or are neutral on the Miers nomination:

So let's make this simple: if you want to have your position noted, post your argument and include one of the following exact phrases . . .

I oppose the Miers nomination.

(More arguments will be coming, especially in the form of an opinion article I will be writing for the next issue of Virtue Magazine.)

So far, TLB's poll shows an overwhelming number of bloggers oppose the nomination.
