		<description>The main problem with this guy is that he is too independent.  Bush needs to put a good guy in there--I am thinking Ken Mehlman would be good, or Tommy Franks.</description>

	Perhaps that title should be Who Now. 
	I spent as much of the day as work would allow looking for and reading a wide variety of reactions to Miss Miers withdraw. There are as many reactions as there were opinions about her nomination. No real surpris...</description>

		<description>Thanks for the link, JJ, I was too lazy to look.

When the case came out, I was disappointed because the general holding Gonzales sought was long overdue; but I had to agree that on the facts, her case wasn&#039;t the vehicle for it.  States owe it to their citizens to put teeth in restraining orders, and unless/until they do, I can see why the federal courts would be helpless to intervene.

Interesting lineup, since Souter and Breyer joined the majority, so it&#039;s difficult to peg McConnell on that basis.  And his advocacy in &lt;i&gt;Dale&lt;/i&gt; naturally doesn&#039;t suggest that he&#039;s a homophobe.

If we have to get an arch-conservative, let it be a smart one like McConnell, who I am supposing has principles.</description>

		<description>Anderson: Good point.  What&#039;s odd is that the decision came down several days before the &lt;em&gt;Slate&lt;/em&gt; piece was written.  Update appended above.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Nominee Watch: 10/26/05&lt;/strong&gt;

Here we go again, (for the 3rd time since summer), w/the greatest political parlor game...that being the guessing game to &quot;name that nominee&quot;. Who will hear, &quot;COME ON DOWN! You&#039;re the next contestant on Beat the Nominee!&quot; No telling when...</description>
