Miers withdrawal.....the last nail
Sorry, I didn't see this posted and I think this was the last nail in the coffin. She had so many problems but she would never have gotten confirmed with this being exposed
quote........
Senators from both parties are pressing Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers about her former Texas law firm's lucrative business helping to promote tax shelters that were subsequently deemed abusive by the Internal Revenue Service.

The actions of the firm Locke Liddell and Sapp, which Miers headed for much of the 1990s, received glancing scrutiny early this year, when the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released a scathing report on the tax shelter industry. The report quoted the legal adviser of a potential investor as blasting the firm for effectively signing off on a "classic 'sham' tax shelter

2. unfortunately we are now going to get a real RW nut and won't be able to
beat the confirmation. Judge Harriet would have been better. On the court and she might have been a little open minded. The next one won't be.

3. It's easy to be open minded
when there's nothing to fill the space.

We will take them one-by-one as they come, and fight each and every one.
