Mister Mike at My Sandmen brings some in-depth analysis to the Harriet Miers’ Supreme Court nomination via the examination of the acronym MOOSEMUSS.
MOOSEMUSS corollary … perfect can be the enemy of good enough.
In the end, pushing through the “perfect” conservative judge would have likely expended a tremendous amount of political capital…the President’s as well as that of many Senators. Isn’t this plan a bit more palatable in that light. We may still have considerable momentum going into the mid-term elections…remember this is not a single battle.
One last thought…how are the way-Lefties going to respond when the Supreme Court battles they anticipated never materialized, and the mainstream liberal leadership looks ineffective again. Fragmented? Discontented? Disorganized? Inept? I suggest that avoiding a battle here, and out maneuvering the Dems, will cause them more problems than Harriet Miers will ever cause conservative Republicans.
I had been having the feeling that this nomination was intended to completely wig out the liberal Democrats and to take the leftist nutters into full apoplectic meltdowns. Thanks to Major Mike, a general feeling can now be based on reasoned strategic arguments. (db)
