The Nuclear Option Back On The Table?

An interesting speculation came up at the coffee table this morning….what if Harriet Miers’ Supreme Court nomination is a straw man set up to agitate the left and capture the news cycle?  This nomination could demote other stories like Senator Frist’s stock deal, Congressman DeLay’s indictment and possible Rove-Libby-Cheney blunders on the Plame outing back to the second page while leading Op-Ed voices refocus on the ‘sturm und drang’ surrounding the confirmation process.

If you think Senators Biden, Kennedy and Feinstein were in high dudgeon over the Chief Justice nomination, imagine their paroxysms of righteous indignation over a Supreme Court nominee with less experience on the bench than Judge Judy!

Hey, it could work! After all, the hurricane season is over after next month and the Administration won’t have Mother Nature to kick around anymore.
