Withdrawal of Miers Nomination - Republican Hypocrisy

The withdrawal of the nomination of Harriet Miers to be a Supreme Court Justice certainly puts the lie to the Republican mantra that all they want is an "up or down vote" on President Bush's nominations. The radical right wing Republicans never even gave her an opportunity for a hearing, let alone an up or down vote. Let us never again be lulled by the Republican hypocrisy of affording a nominee "an up or down vote."
