Wow: Paul Mirengoff Says Miers Should Withdraw

Filed under: Judiciary — Patterico @ 7:20 pm

Paul Mirengoff says Miers should withdraw. He says Miers’s 1993 speech is the speech of a “liberal.” He is right.

The chorus is growing among pundits: Miers should withdraw. Unfortunately, I still think it won’t make much difference.

UPDATE: Add another voice to the chorus: the speech has caused Captain Ed to officially oppose Miers as well.

  2. The chorus is growing…

    Perhaps, but I trust that the irony of your choice of words is not lost on you.

    [That's very funny, and I mean it sincerely. The obvious difference, of course, is that I *name* the members of my chorus. And Paul Mirengoff is the latest *name*. (Btw, read that speech yet? Any comments?) -- Patterico]

  3. I have read the speech, and quite frankly I’m not sure I understand what all the fuss is about.

  4. “The chorus is growing”?

    Wow. We’re starting to sound like Deaniacs. Pass the orange toboggan.

    What she said wasn’t a tenth what Zell Miller was saying back then, but heck, why trust anyone when you can truss them up instead?

  6. The best possible news. I had given up hoping she would withdraw.

    Now get ready for Hewitt etal to blame everyone that had any question at all for her having to withdraw.
