| | US politics - definition of US politics in Encyclopedia |

| | I’m as irritated as anyone at the political weakness this nomination reflects (though inclined to agree with Thomas Sowell that it’s a weakness of the GOP Senate). | | | The Miers withdrawal is deeply embarrassing to Bush, who should be able to get his pick of Supreme Court justices with a 55-seat Senate GOP majority. | | | That she has not been a judge, but has spent years dealing with the effects of judges pronouncements is another plus, as she probably understands better than the judges how far reaching the consequences of their decisions can be. |
