After several days of indecisive paralysis Rickey Santorum has decided to jump on the anti-Miers bandwagon [sorta].
The Post Gazette reports:
Read it here.Joining a swelling chorus of conservative unrest, U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., has expressed disappointment with the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers.
During an appearance in mid-state Pennsylvania Thursday, Mr. Santorum, normally one of President Bush's most reliable Senate allies, also said that he had not made up his mind on a confirmation vote for the president's controversial nominee.
"I don't know yet,'' Mr. Santorum said when asked about his confirmation decision in an interview reported by the Chambersburg Public Opinion. "But I am concerned President Bush nominated someone who is a blank slate. I'm disappointed that he wanted to nominate someone like that instead of someone with a record.''
Actually this is the kind of indecisive straddle that will do him no good either with the base or with moderates who he is going to have to placate.
