Extreme far-right Republicans launch campaign to demand Harriet withdraw her name

Far-right Republicans - litmus-test Republicans, you might even call them - have launched a new Web site http://www.withdrawmiers.org/ demanding that Miers' name be withdrawn.

It's now clear that if Miers doesn't stay in the running for any reason, it will be because of far-right opposition to any Republican who isn't a far-right out-of-the-mainstream extremist. And because Bush has become so weak that he can no longer defend his own policy decisions.

It's also a clear sign that Bush's next Supreme Court nominee, the one who will replace Harriet, is going to be a conservative extremist totally out of touch with regular Republicans, let alone regular Americans.
