The X Factor of Harriet Miers (MOOSEMUSS and Miers)

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

"Good enough" is not satisfactory for a Supreme Court nomination.

I would have settled for "good," but President Bush appears to have ruled that out.

[Crush T Velour]

I appreciate your point of view but I don't see that it boils down to anything but a sophisticated version of "trust me".

I think you are probably right that there is an element to that. There is an element to that in every nomination since we never have all the facts about candidate that the President does. But whatever our criticisms about this Presidents other decisions or actions or lack of action, he's been faultless on judicial nominations. Doesn't he deserve that trust in this case? For that matter, doesn't Miers based on her work on judicial nominations over the last 5 years?

MOOSEMUSS. Yes, MOOSEMUSS. That is what came to mind when the discussion amongst the right about the Harriet Miers nomination went into full tilt yesterday … MOOSEMUSS.

This is the kind of smug, delusional ramblings one would expect from KOS.
Very disappointing.
