According to the New York Times, a majority of the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee question the choice of Harriet Miers. A number of prominent conservative pundits are up in arms. And Jeff Sessions, at least, appears to be pressing the panic button on the nomination:
Asked if the debate had become "one-sided," with too few defending Ms. Miers, Senator Sessions, the Alabama Republican, struggled for words, then pushed a button for a nearby elevator in the Capitol building and told an aide, "Get me out of here."
If it were me, I'd run too.
Defend Miers or run?
I think it should be confirm Miers or run. Can you imagine who the president would have to nominate if his base cans Miers?
