Support Miers to "save his Presidency"?
Robert Novak's column has raised some troubling issues about the Miers nomination -- as well as about the security of Bush's presidency: GEORGE W. BUSH'S agents have convinced conservative Republican senators who were heartsick over his nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court that they must support her to save his Presidency. But that does not guarantee her confirmation. Ahead are hearings of unspeakable ugliness that can be prevented only if Democratic senators exercise unaccustomed restraint.(Via G. Gordon Liddy.) There's a lot more to this, and of course the left has already been drooling for weeks. While Novak may be engaged in hyperbole (I don't really follow the logic between the Miers nomination and the future of the Bush presidency, which can only be terminated by impeachment), it certainly appears that things are not looking good for the president right now. posted by Eric on 10.20.05 at 10:20 AM

President Bush can save his legacy by fighting and winning the War Against the Terror Masters. We don't put people on the Supreme Court to save any President's legacy but to uphold the United States Constitution. I'm not one of the hate-Bush crowd, but my respect for him is reduced.

Paul Deignan has been arguing to the contrary, that Miers will not overturn Roe vs. Wade. It should be overturned. In my opinion, it was one of the most disastrous decisions in the history of the Supreme Court, for many reasons.

My guess would be that by supporting the Miers nomination they would not be literally saving his Presidency, but rather his legacy or some such nonsense.
The idea that Bush really thinks that Miers on the Supreme Court would be a good legacy to leave, causes a good deal of personal discomfort for me in the form of gastric acids working their way towards the anterior end of my alimentary canal.
