There's no real new news on the Harriet Miers front, but if you're the White House, that's bad news, because a lot of people who would ordinarily be on board are still looking for reassurance.
The TurkeyBlog doesn't think it's necessarily time to pull the plug, but... it's time to do something. If Harriet Miers showed up at a Constitutional Law Seminar someplace and did an impromptu q and a ("Talk to a future Supreme Court justice"), I'd feel better. Even if she showed up in a Constitutional law class and took the questions the law students came up with I'd feel better.
For the moment, I'm not going to call for her to withdraw. But she should withdraw if she isn't prepared to discuss the tough questions even with lightweights of the sort who take up space in the Senate without a prior briefing. As a justice, she'll have to do her own reasoning; Karl Rove won't be there to get everything scripted for her formulation of opinions. We hope.
