Ann Coulter on Miers Withdrawal: It’s Morning in America!

Since Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to the Supreme Court, Democratic senators such as Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin—i.e. all the people who had absolutely nothing to do with Miers’ withdrawal—have been blanketing the airwaves with demands that Bush must now accede to their commands.  So it’s good to see Democrats are still working on getting in touch with reality. 

The Democrats didn’t utter a note of disagreement with the Miers nomination.  But now they say her withdrawal is their victory, which Bush must be forced to acknowledge by nominating a candidate to their liking.  I believe that’s what got Bush in trouble in the first place:  Listening to Democratic Senator Harry Reid, who recommended Miers for the Supreme Court. 

Although the circumstances were unfortunate—we prefer fighting liberals to fighting our President—the Miers withdrawal is an unparalleled victory for conservatives.  Liberals were never able to do this to Clinton when he hosed them.  It will be a long time before the White House thinks it can use and abuse conservatives again.

I do believe it’s folly to abuse or stray far from one’s conservative base, when one is a conservative leader who was elected to do conservative things. coughStephenHarpercough.
