G.O.P. Aides Add Voices to Resistance Over Nominee - New York Times

If this report is accurate, the Miers nomination is in even bigger trouble than I thought:
As the White House seeks to rally senators behind the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet E. Miers, lawyers for the Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee are expressing dissatisfaction with the choice and pushing back against her, aides to 6 of the 10 Republican committee members said yesterday.

"Everybody is hoping that something will happen on Miers, either that the president would withdraw her or she would realize she is not up to it and pull out while she has some dignity intact," a lawyer to a Republican committee member said.

That dignity thing? Too late already, probably.
