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!!!
I'm assuming you don't think Miers is "qualified." I may be wrong.
However, if she has good, conservative common sense and virtues, wouldn't she be preferable to a "well qualified" liberal?
I was very unhappy Monday when I heard Bush nominated Miers. I'm a Janice Rogers Brown fan. But I'm coming around to the present circumstances...weak knees in the Senate, etc. I also think Bush pulled one over on Harry Reid, getting him to support Miers.
If the woman turns out to be an idiot, we'll all know. If, at worst, she votes with Scalia and Thomas consistently, I'll be pleased. Let Scalia write the opinions.
