Bye Bye Harriet
With this news from today's Washington Times, it can only be a matter of time before Miss Miers is withdrawing her nomination to the Supreme Court.
Two longtime leaders of the conservative movement yesterday called for the withdrawal of Harriet Miers' nomination to the Supreme Court.
"We expected President Bush to appoint a woman with the opposite judicial philosophy and paper trail of Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- our disappointment is acute," said Phyllis Schlafly, founder and president of the St. Louis-based Eagle Forum.
Mrs. Schlafly joined pioneering conservative fundraiser Richard Viguerie and other, lesser-known leaders on the pro-family right yesterday in announcing the formation of a coalition, WithdrawMiers.org.
They described it as a "multipronged campaign to urge the withdrawal of Harriet Miers' nomination to the Supreme Court."
