Another Miers theory

This theory is in the same family as my theory. Both think that Miers' nomination had more than met the eye (which is a bigger poke in the eye of the pundits and wannabe pundits whose lack of political weight was displayed with the nomination). Bear in mind that the posting was made prior to Alito's nomination.

What has the Miers nomination done?
A. Created some cover for Rove and company during the Plame name leak investigation.
B. Forced the left’s “anti-judiciary machine” to expend time and energy chasing a red herring.
C. Set up the next nominee, if they have any qualifications at all, to look like a superstar.
D. Sets up the Democrats who will oppose the next nominee, and they will, as whiners.
E. Allows Bush to play hardball on a “real” choice for the bench.
F. Helps Republicans in the next election in a number of ways such as; Allowing Republicans who opposed the nomination to say, “See, I’m not a Bush rubber stamper”, Let’s swing voters know that the Republican party is not run by the radical right, and there are more advantages.

All in all the anti-Miers crowd still has a lot of unanswered hypocrisies differences in philosophical application and their short-sightedness has prevented them from really seeing other possibilities.
