Bench Memos' Ed Whelan Calls on Miers to Withdraw

The anti-Miers movement grows today as NRO's Whelan has now come out against Miers.

Be sure to check out Whelan's link to a speech Miers gave in 1993, which is also discussed at Confirm Them and in The Washington Post.

Miers said that "self-determination" should be the guide for issues such as abortion. As is pointed out in the Washington Post, that kind of philosophy could also open the door to rulings in favor of gay marriage.

Put a fork in this nomination, she's done. I hope.

Update: Ed Whelan expands on his thoughts in a longer article for National Review Online.
