The vacation from politics, like the great weather this weekend, couldn’t last forever. With major hat tips to Captain Ed at Captain’s Quarters and Sean of TAM, we find out from Time that the White House has changed its strategy on Miers’ nomination. They’re now going to bring up her “experience dealing with such real-world issues as the Voting Rights Act when she was a Dallas city council member and Native American tribal sovereignty when she was chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission.”
I don’t know about the latter issue (if someone from Texas stumbling through here can enlighten me, please do so), but that VRA “experience” isn’t exactly reflective of a conservative philosophy. The 10/11 OpinionJournal Best of the Web has already started the process of deciphering that. Oops.
