Couldn't we please include Zell Miller on these lists, other than just having to throw a vote intended for him into "other?"

I want to drive the liberals mad! Somebody please suggest Zell as a serious nominee to do just exactly that!!! I can just see him and Biden going toe-to-toe in the confirmation hearings!!!

Well, that's not a throwaway, but keep two things in mind:

a. By endorsing Zell, you endorse liberal "strategic" thinking about the Court. Lots of them wanted Clinton to nominate Mario Cuomo to the High Court because he could politick and logroll and steal votes.

b. He's still a Democrat and would "come home" on some issues in ways bound to displease you.

What are his judicial qualifications? Please remember that the mere fact that he supported Bush's reelection doesn't alter the fact that he's still a Democrat who believes in big government.

Sorry, I didn't realize that someone already said the same thing to you, and you already responded to him. (I always hate it when people do that to me and make me repeat myself)
