Is Bush Trying To Make The Senate GOP Put It's Money Where It's Mouth Is?

Baldilocks has an interesting theory about the President's nomination of Harriet Miers.

I'm betting that President Bush is doing what he usually does: call people out. Why should he put a Janice Rogers Brown up to be savaged by the Democrats if the Senate GOP isnÂ’t willing to stand with him and give Brown cover? If they can't hang, then whose problem is that? The president might as well put me up for nomination.

My predictions: if Harriet Miers is lucky enough to make it through the judiciary committee, she will be voted down by the full senate. Then what? Following the rejection, President Bush makes a phone call to Senator Frist and asks: “now are you willing to fight for the type of candidate that you claim to want?”

Then again, I could be wrong. :-)

Hey, it's as good as any theory I've heard yet.

Also, on a related note: Robert Bork doesn't even like Miers. Sheesh!
