Miers Quits

President Bush has "reluctantly" accepted Harriet Miers' request to withdraw her nomination to the Supreme Court. More to follow.

Update: President Bush announced that Ms Miers is withdrawing because Senators want access to papers that would "undermine a president's ability to receive candid counsel."

Ms Miers' nomination did not sit well with many Republican Senators. And her nomination was becoming increasingly problematic for the administration.(CNN)
