Miers withdraws Supreme Court nomination
Thursday, October 27, 2005
White House counsel Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination as U.S. Supreme Court justice this morning.
Miers sent a letter to President Bush that outlined objections to her nomination. She said she was concerned that Senate requests for White House documents, or testimony about her work at the White House, would pose an obstacle to her confirmation [
Letter].
Bush responded that he accepted her withdrawal. He said the requests for White House documents would "undermine" the executive branch [
Letter].
