The latest from factcheck:
"Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman sent out a mass "Dear Republican" email urging support for Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, saying: "Before Ms. Miers was even announced many Democrat groups said they would oppose her."
"That's false. Some groups said they might oppose Bush's next nominee, and we have little doubt that some will. But the RNC couldn't come up with a single group that had said they would oppose Miers.
"To the contrary, the nomination brought quick praise from Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader. There was opposition all right – but it was mostly from conservatives, not Democrats."
Full analysis can be read here: http://www.factcheck.org/article351.html
You know, I love factcheck.org. I really do. They are thourough and honest, and really do a decent job of being nonpartisan. I just wish they'd tackle more and more interesting issues. I think this is largely a nonissue, and will probably start little or no conversation here. But what the hell, I like to promote factcheck as much as possible.
