"The White House has begun making contingency plans for the withdrawal of Harriet Miers as President Bush's choice to fill a seat on the Supreme Court," the Washington Times reports.
Meanwhile, insiders tell Political Wire that several Republican senators have joined with Democrats demanding the White House release documents relating to work Miers has done for President Bush. With the White House claiming executive privelege on the documents, this may give the administration cover for withdrawing the troubled nomination for a greater principle.
