Miers: The Vultures Gather

This past weekend, Michael Stickings at The Reaction started a Miers Withdrawal Watch -- a sort of death watch by the nomination's bedside, since various premonitory gasps and rattlings have been heard. In Parts One, Two, and Three, so far, he links to sickroom whispers from across the entire political spectrum of the blogosphere, including this marvelously haughty rhetoric from George Will:

To give a woman a seat on a crowded bus because she is a woman is gallantry. To give a woman a seat on the Supreme Court because she is a woman is a dereliction of senatorial duty. It also is an affront to mature feminism, which may bridle at gallantry but should recoil from condescension.
