Harriet Miers-Related Quote of The Day

Miers was compared to Caligula's horse, and denounced by luminaries on the right as unacceptable because they do not know her. This is nothing like any reaction to a nominee in memory. And if there is any precedent for the president’s own supporters to turn on a SCOTUS nominee in such a fashion, I am unaware of it. In fact, I am trying to recall a single instance of any high profile nominee ever being treated in such a fashion by members of the nominating president’s own party.

--Hugh Hewitt (Read the whole thing. It's long, but worth it.)
