"Gang of 14 Meets on Miers

"The bipartisan group of 14 senators that averted a showdown over President Bush's judicial nominees earlier this year is set to meet today to discuss the nomination of White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court," The Fix reports.

"The meeting may be the first step in a return to prominence for the group... The group met twice during the Roberts confirmation process, but the stakes in the Miers nomination are seen as higher since she may tip the court's balance on key issues like abortion."

Of the 14, four face potentially tight re-election bids in 2006: Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE), Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) and Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI)."
