National Digest – Miers withdrew her nomination of the Supreme Court

National Digest – Miers withdrew her nomination of the Supreme Court. The Week of Testing a Country’s Character and Integrity Today, Bush is in Florida to survey the hurricane damage. During the crisis, it reveals one’s aptitude, disposition, and vulnerability. President Bush attributes the reason that Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to the Senate. The senate wants the White House to release the internal documents, which would violate “Executive privilege”. Miers says that she was a burden to the White House. Bush reluctantly accepted and said that she did it in a graceful manner. Senator Charles Grassley, Republican, Judiciary Committee “I won’t argue with you, Kyra, You have your work.” CNN reporter Kyra was asking how the government should help with Wilma in a raised voice, in an untactful, imposing way. How to help Wilma? Where is the action? Toward a reporter with a Cultural Revolution-like purging style, Senator Grassley, in a reasonable beseeching tone said, “I am not here to make policy on TV, but in a debate in Congress.” Kyra, in a headstrong and frantic manner, “Americans should not suffer. Americans want to know, want to get help.” She was screaming and acting in a condescending manner to the Senator, and then, without apologizing, simply finished up by saying, “We are good friends.” She is trying to look like a peer to the Senators when she is not, after she scolded him rudely. Senator Specter, Judiciary Chairman, “Harriet is subject to a one-sided debate, by the press, by the radio, not in formal hearing.” Despite a quote from former Bush speechwriter David Frum, “the Senator himself says the nominee is un-confirmable.” Big blood bath on National TV. Paul Begala, Democrat Strategist, CNN “Democrats should be emboldened, now that the President shows weakness.” He is referring to the withdrawn nomination by Harriet Miers. Begala is relishing the event by saying that the leads can go all the way to the Vice President and the President. On asking if there was any link between the withdrawn nomination and the grand jury Prosecution case, he said yes. He has never seen President shy away from a fight. This week also was when the 2000th solider was killed in Iraq. Robert Bork, Former supreme court nominee. Bork’s 1987 nomination by President Reagan was defeated. Bork called the Miers Nomination “A disaster”. Bork: Bush can solidify his base again. He can analyze the situation and get himself out of it. Tomorrow, the three processes of the Grand Jury 1. Explanation of Elements of the Crimes. 2. Evidence of the crime, to support the crime. 3. Whether there is sufficient evidence to bring charges. Each can take 3 hours. According to the New York Times, the Grand Jury will ask for an extension so that they can continue to investigate Rove, this will spell out continued turmoil for the country.
