It will take a little while for the smoke to clear and be able to look at this one with some perspective, but the initial reaction from Conservatives ranges from confusion to outrage.

Keep in mind that in the first hours (and even days) following the announcement of Roberts there were similar rumblings of discontent (remember how apoplectic Ann Coutler got?). That Miers is a Conservative is not really in doubt. But the general feeling I'm getting from the Right side of the Blogosphere is that this was a blown opportunity to appoint someone in the Scalia/Thomas mold and that it's at best 50/50 that Bush will get a chance to make an third appointment before his term runs out.

This is going to be an interesting week.
