USSC nomination happening today?
Th AP via the WaPo is reporting that it’s entirely possible, and there’s a buzz (of course) going around as to who the nominee may be:
John Dean’s wishful thinking
Even in light of the revelation that Rove learned of Plame’s identity from another journalist, John Dean makes the murkiest case yet for Rove’s guilt. See if you can make sense of it. I can’t.

More thoughts on Miers
I haven’t seen this much hyperventilating in the conservative blogosphere about an issue in a long time. I think it’s good that conservatives are voicing their differences about it – it obviously shows that we’re not just obedient little slaves to the President (WE knew that already, of course) and there are some great arguments for and against the nomination – but some of it is just so over the top you’d think the President had either just nominated Bill Clinton for USSC Justice or the mother of all conservatives.
