For or Against---Or Waiting?

This morning I posted my thoughts on the President's Rose Garden press conference. You can read them here.

If you would like to read the transcript of the press conference, you can do so by visiting Musing Minds, where Kimsch (who has a wait-and-see attitude about Miers) has posted a link to it.

Kimsch has also written an interesting post about The Coalition of the Chillin', bloggers who are waiting to see what Harriet Miers will be like. Have a look. Kimsch also gives a list of bloggers with varying opinions on the whole matter.

Here is an excerpt I particularly liked from Kimsch's post:

Ted Frank at Point Of Law had an interesting post Some wishful Miers thinking:

Here's the sinister conspiracy theory behind the Miers nomination:

1. Bush nominates Miers.
2. Conservatives howl with outrage.
3. Democrats, sensing an opportunity to deal a defeat to Bush, decide to oppose the nomination.
4. The Democrats seize the best reed available to them: Miers is under-experienced, doesn't have an intellectual background, and is a Bush crony.
5. Brownback and a number of Republicans express their opposition.
6. With the nomination looking doomed, Miers withdraws her name.
7. Bush now nominates Michael McConnell—and the Democrats can't possibly filibuster, because they just demanded Bush nominate based on quality rather than on political considerations.

Sounds like a good strategy, but I don't know if that is what will happen.
