Bow down to the manipulative glory of Karl Rove.

The scenario works out like this. Bush and the Republicans want a Conservative judicial appointment but don't have the juice to push someone with anti-Roe v. Wade credentials through after the Katrina debacle. So... Rove does the following: nominate a trusted political friend to serve as a placeholder - someone willing to take one for the team. Rove hopes that both Democrats and some Republicans will oppose Miers because of her lack of experience. Rove is hoping the Democrats generate enough fuss, especially a filibuster! Yes, Rove wants a filibuster. He wants to use up the one "get-out-of-jail" card the American public will tolerate. At this point Miers will withdraw her nomination on her own freeing Bush to name a qualified Conservative like Luftig to the bench. Rove hopes that the Democrats won't have the momentum to filibuster a second nominee by accusing the Democrats of obstructionism. Add a well orchestrated PR campaign about how Roberts was qualified, how the Dems got their filibuster on the Miers, and other assorted tricks... voila. Rove wins. Too much energy is being spent on Miers the past 24 hours. Rove is hanging her out to dry on purpose.
