Like most, at least on this page and at my home blog (Southern Appeal), I'm not impressed with the President's choice of Miers as the replacement for retiring Justice O'Connor. That said, perhaps, at least according to this essay by Mark Levin, some of the blame for the pick (and when I imply this seems to be the easy way out and that a controversial pick was avoided for that very fact) should be placed at the feet of, in this instance, the Republican members of the Gang of 14, who thwarted the attempts of the "nuclear option" which would thus guarantee that a nominee, like a Luttig, wouldn't get through.

N.B. If I may add, totally unrelated with regard to Miers, GO BRAVES!
