Which is better: An "unqualified conservative or a well-qualified liberal?

I'd go with "qualified conservative," but for some reason you didn't offer that as an option.

Oh, that's right...it's my job to provide you with options. I should have consulted you first. However, I didn't see you provide me with a list of qualifications for a SCJ? You just say Miers is "unqualified."

Why?

I didn't say it was your job. YOU are the one who took it upon YOURSELF to ask the entire FR community its opinion of the following:

Which is better: An "unqualified conservative or a well-qualified liberal?

Well, I offered you my opinion, saying that I would prefer a qualified conservative, and pointing that, for whatever reason, you did not offer that as an option to choose from. Next time, if you don't want my opinion, don't ask.

Jeez, everyone is sooooo sensitive around here lately!!!

The question of qualifications has been answered scores of times on these threads and elsewhere since Monday. For you to pretend otherwise is profoundly dishonest. You should be ashamed.
