Harriet Miers has withdrawn her nomination for the U.S. Supreme Court.
I’ve been more encouraged by the events of the last three weeks than by anything else that has happened in politics in years. It is good to know that a group of thoughtful, principled advocates can still change history.
Addendum: Or, as Miers would say, “More and more, the intractable problems in our society have one answer: broad-based intolerance of unacceptable conditions and a commitment by many to fix problems.” Way to go, Ms. Miers. You did well today.
