US Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination. She'd attracted bipartisan opposition from both Democrats and Republicans, and while I'd like to think that it was the fact that she was a crony manifestly unfit for the job which led to her demise, it seems instead that the religious right didn't think she was sufficiently anti-abortion for their tastes.
But while I'm pleased to see Miers step down, I'm also worried. President Bush described her as "the best person I could find". But if Miers is the best Bush can find, who will he pick in her place? The White House janitor?
