Miers Withdrawal Watch — Part 2

Joe did a great round-up yesterday (see below). For those of you who are interested, I’ve also got the second part of my Miers Withdrawal Watch at The Reaction.

Check it out.

I won’t repost the whole MWW2, but here’s my reaction to George Will’s latest critique of the Miers nomination in The Washington Post:

I’m hardly a conservative critic of the Miers nomination, but Will is right: This is about “excellence,” Miers’s lack thereof, and “Bush’s reckless abuse of presidential discretion”. It may be tempting for Democrats to vote for her, but they should stand firm and refuse to condone such blatant cronyism and the denigration of one of America’s most important institutions. (Plus, Miers may very well be a hardline conservative on such issues as abortion, executive prerogative, and corporate law.)
