Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination for Supreme Court Justice today. It had begun to seem unlikely that she would be confirmed by the senate, and senators had begun asking for documents of discussions she had with the president, and we can only guess what that would have revealed. Both Republican and Democratic senators denied that they had ever asked for privileged documents, so that part of the story is probably typical White House spin (jesus, that things like a top nowadays). With Miers nomination withdrawn, the president now has the opportunity to nominate someone with a little more history of corruption. He might also go with another fresh face. He knows this kid that goes to West Texas Law School. He hasn't taken the BAR exam yet, but he made some super-looking signs for the Texas delegation at last year's Republican National Convention. If he makes it through law school and passes the Texas BAR exam, which involves milking a cow and riding a horse over a small course, he could become the next supreme court nominee.
