Miers Withdraws

The New York Times is reporting that Miers has withdrawn.

Ah well. On the one hand, the crowing of the hard conservative blogosphere is going to be insufferable. Sadly, I doubt we'll get another non-standard nominee: my money is now on the same old standard issue appeals court judge, or at the outside a professor, almost certainly one who's done sufficient sucking up to the Federalist Society as to not have their loyalty questioned.

On the other hand, the increased traffic to Professor Bainbridge on this issue has been enough to have knock-on effects on my stats. That gives me an interesting set of server statistics to analyze. Never say I can't find a silver lining.

I almost hope Bush say "to hell with it" and nominates Janice Rogers Brown. If nothing else, it'll make for a good show.
