Harriet Meyers withdrew her nomination to the Supreme Court yesterday, but you'd never know it to look at the news feeds. I actually had to search to find any word of her today. Apparently Mrs. Miers has already faded into history. The withdrawl was a big victory for Conservative Republicans who were shocked to find out that controling the House, Senate, and the White House was not enough to merit a stronger candidate. In fact the nomination was so "stealth" that it seemed neither the Republican Majority nor the Democratic Minority knew what to make of her. The end result was both sides at the same time attacking and defending her with pauses for confused contemplation. But the nomination was actually a watershed moment for me. It was her nomination that I realized that solution to "legislating from the bench" and the need for "judicial restraint" was not going found where most were looking for it: a Supreme Court nomination. A supreme court nomination. A nomination that would upset the balance — or maintain it. As long as the nominee ends up being who everyone thinks they will be — perceptions which have turned out wrong on many occasions. No, the problem will not be solved by "a" or even several nominations. The problem can only be truely stemmed by something stronger: a constitutional ammendment. We actually need three. Three seperate ammendments to steer this country back to the greatness it once held and guard to it's path in the future. But more on that later…
