The resignation letter can be seen here. I suppose it’s pretty bad for the nominee when even Bush’s supporters were critical of this nomination.

Personally, I’m pretty much okay with this. I’m a Republican and all but Miers has never been a judge, and I would want a Supreme Court Justice to have- oh, I dunno- SOME experience on the bench before moving up to the highest court in the land. The nomination never sat easy with me, and I’d argue there are several qualified candidates for nomination.

Out.
