Here is the reason Harriet Miers gave for her withdrawal of her nomination for the Supreme Court:
In her withdrawal letter to the president, Miers said she was "concerned that the confirmation process presents a burden for the White House and its staff and it is not in the best interest of the country."
This is something the Democrats do not understand. What’s good for the country is more important that gaining power. Republicans will step down instead of dragging the country through an unpleasant experience, whereas Bill Clinton drug the country through an impeachment trial instead of stepping down. And stepping down is what the Democrats expect Karl Rove to do.
We should honor Harriet Miers for doing what is best for the country. And I pray that that decision will give her more time to enjoy her retirement years. God bless Harriet Miers.
