Senate Approves Miers 52-48; Filibuster Averted

Here, let me save you a lot of time:

The eventual vote will go strictly on party lines.

A filibuster will be threatened, but faced with the “nuclear option” of eliminating the filibuster, the Democrats will back off at the last moment.

BREITBART.COM - Just The News: “President Bush has chosen Harriet Miers, White House counsel and a loyal member of the president’s inner circle, to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court, a senior administration official said Monday.

If confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate, Miers, 60, would join Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the second woman on the nation’s highest court.

Miers, who has never been a judge, was the first woman to serve as president of the Texas State Bar and the Dallas Bar Association”
