Ding-Dong, Harriet Miers' dream of becoming a Supreme Court justice is dead

Finally this has been resolved. She wasn't qualified, we didn't know anything about her views on ANYTHING, she thinks george w is a genius; is it any wonder she would't have made it through the nomination process?
CNN.com has a copy of her letter to the president, and in relation to his reaction to her withdrawl, it's funny. She basically said she was withdrawing because Congress would continue pressing for internal White House documents, and she didn't want that to happen because of the soveirgnty of each branch of government. Bush said he wouldn't release them because it would jeopordize other people's ability to offer his advice. This absolutely kills me for several reasons.

• Okay, if you didn't want to release internal white house documents, YOU SHOULDN"T HAVE NOMINATED A WHITE HOUSE EMPLOYEE! I mean, the bush administration isn't known for it's ability to plan anything, but come on! What did you honestly expect? That your "She's a hardcore christian just like us guys *wink wink*" stunt would actually convince your conservative base to blindly vote for her?
• "While I believe my lengthy career provides sufficient evidence for consideration of my nomination," So basically, you think people should be hired soley based on their resume; I mean, who needs to actually interview people? It's overrated. Especially when you BOMB the senate's Judiciary Commitee survey test.
• Releasing confidential white house files. God forbid WE THE PEOPLE should get to see the reasoning behind our "leader"s thoughts process. Like that would be a long report anyway. The government should be accountable to it's constituants, and this is just another way to hide the incompetence behind beurocratic B.S.

• And finally, what's all this mumbo-jumbo about recieving advice? Cause honestly, if you actually DO listen to other's advice, considering all the pathetic decisions that have been made over the past 6 years, WE THE PEOPLE have a right to know who has been giving you such bad advice. Maybe compromising the prez's ability to receive advice would mean he could actually make some good decisions.

Here's a Thought... Harriet Miers withdrawing from consideration is a good thing, regardless of whether her views coincided or conflicted with yours. She was unqualified (being head of the texas lottery commision doesn't mean you can interpret Supreme Court case law). There are many better candidates that the Republican party can get behind and push through the confirmation process :)
