American Spectator Blog: “ There is now talk of among some conservatives about a filibuster of the Miers nomination. …According to several White House sources, few inside the building took the possibility of a Miers nomination seriously. Now that it’s a reality, they are stunned. ‘We passed up Gonzales for this?’ was one conservative staffer’s reaction.”
