If we must have an unqualified crony for SCOTUS I would prefer the chief legal council at Halliburton. Cheney probably "knows his heart" and a nomination like that would have the benefit of making the left go insane. That at least would be fun to watch.

This brings up the straw man often evoked by the likes of Kennedy and Schumer that people from former confederate states are all ignorant racists. It helps them ignore the racism in Northern communities, and is never far from political discourse. Maybe, some remember the post election red and blue maps frequently comparing the red states to the former confederacy.

This does not make Meirs qualified. However, in my own mind, we would do well to go outside the ivy league for candidates as often as we can. Our last presidential election seemed like a Yale student council election to me, and when I was in grad school the Yale history faculty was Marxist.
