"A Revolt for Excellence"

Tony Blankley assesses the importance of the conservative revolt against Miers.

He particularly notes that it was not a small faction of Republicans who triumphed --by the time of the resignation virtually all corners of the Republican party were united in their opposition to Miers: "...such broad, shoulder-to-shoulder conspicuous conservative opposition to a Republican president advocating a not liberal nomination or position is, I think, without precedent."
