Conservatives seem more frustrated than liberals with President Bush's selection of Harriet Miers for Supreme Court judge. Liberals in congress are sitting back and letting the conservatives do much of their usual work. Conservatives are now suggesting that Miers could withdraw from her selection and avoid being smeared before congress. The reason some conservatives are so angry about the Miers selection is because there were so many other "very conservative" options that would have been more likely to overturn controversial past decisions.
