While the title of this post describes the seat waiting for Miers at One First Street, it also reflects a bit of a dilemma for all who are even remotely interested in the nomination. The right is flustered to say the least, but this is no time for elation on the part of the left. I have a hard time believing that this administration is so naive so as to nominate an insider without knowing thoroughly where she stands. I just hope she's to the right of Thomas only on the seating chart.
