I can tell you for a fact that the Democrats will not seriously challenge this nomination. Yes, they will question her at the hearings, but I expect as critical or even more critical questioning to come from the right on this one. The appointment of Miers will mean that after two Supreme Court appointments, there will have been no sea change in the court's composition, which is frankly what Democrats were so concerned about prior to these two appointments when debating the matter.
This does not mean that Miers is the left's justice of choice, obviously, but if she were to be defeated, it could me a more conservative nominee to follow...Dems won't risk that, they'll take status quo as a victory in this case.
