GOOD NEWS for the Miers nomination: Instapundit <<< The Gang of 14's centrist Democratic and Republican senators met and gave preliminary approval yesterday to Harriet Miers as President Bush's nominee to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. Emerging from a meeting at the offices of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said, "This nomination didn't set off any alarm bells with any of us." The significance of this provisional endorsement, though presented in a low-key fashion, could be huge, for it means that unless damning evidence emerges during the Judiciary Committee's as-yet unscheduled confirmation hearings the nominee is unlikely to be filibustered, and a party-line vote would mean confirmation. A party-line vote is far from assured because conservatives have not welcomed the nomination. >>> If there's trouble, it will come from the right, I guess. instapundit.com thehill.com
