The problem I see now is that, clearly, it wasn't the pressure from the Democrat side of the aisle that forced his hand. Bush has felt that a million times and it hasn't made him blink.
It was the pressure from the arch-conservatives that pushed Harriet Miers out. That's bad, because it means that they are capable of making themselves felt in a way that the liberals cannot. It certainly suggests that we'll be getting a nominee with a more overtly conservative mindset this time around.
I just hope that in two weeks, we aren't all wondering whether Harriet Miers wouldn't have been our best option compared to our other choices.
