Schumer: Miers lacks votes to be confirmed-Yahoo News
Interesting...and nice that the cleaning lady isn't getting a rosy welcome from Congress


Schumer: Miers Lacks Votes to Be Confirmed
AP - 1 hour, 23 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - A Democrat on the Senate committee that will consider Harriet Miers' nomination said Sunday that President Bush's Supreme Court choice lacks the votes now to be confirmed, saying there are too many questions about her qualifications. "If you held the vote today, she would not get a majority either in the Judiciary Committee or the floor," said Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), D-New York. On the 18-member GOP-controlled committee, "there are one or two who said they'd support her as of now."
