They are a disgusting bunch, aren’t they?

Harriet Miers would have been a vote for the constitution but the screaming from the conservative geniuses that Roberts was a conservative constitutional genius won the day. Miers, btw, opposed Roberts and supported Priscilla Owen. Unfortunately the loudmouth, elitish aholes like Rove won the day and Roberts, the lying sack of sh6t, got the appointment.

[what's up]

I just see it as a clever way (well, really not so clever) of ever taking responsibility.

As a constituent you can advise, cajole, threaten (whatever it takes) a leader into making a decision.

Then, once that decision is made you can just blame the leader if it goes wrong. It would never be your fault for having had any influence on the outcome.

Very cheesy IMO.
