That’s the title of my new Confirmation Tales post, the first paragraph of which reads:
Few episodes since Watergate have generated more intense and ugly conflict among Republicans than George W. Bush’s nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court in October 2005. The 24 days from announcement to withdrawal were excruciating for conservatives. Revisiting them has revived a lot of unpleasant memories. But it also provides the occasion to call attention to some important lessons.
The link also includes an audio version, in case you’d like to listen while driving or exercising.
