Two very good things so far today for conservatives. One, Harriet Miers has withdrawn herself from consideration for the Supreme Court. Now hopefully Bush will pick someone who makes sense for the position, and has valid strict-constructionist credentials. And item number two is that Bush has pledged to do a bunch of budget cuts. I doubt he'll come anywhere close to doing what a fiscal conservative President should be doing, but I can hope he'll make some sort of headway. I wonder how much campaigns like Porkbusters influenced this. Of course talk is cheap, let's see what the action is.
