Of all the arguments made about this woman, this is the most vacuous one.
I just cannot understand where the snobbery of that response comes from.
Howlin,
I was attempting to point out that the left has and will trot out marital status. I do not agree that it is proper to do so, simply that it is done. The last time it was done, they specifically used "commitment and decision making abilities" on the floor of the house of representatives.
The one less mentioned aspect of Harriet Miers is that she is a self-proclaimed and publicly-confirmed evangelical Christian. And in that respect her close relationship with the President may have pushed her to the top of the heap based in large part on her faith. So if she is lacking in most generally accepted qualifications then it's clear that the President has chosen her to be the voice of Christian convervatives on the bench.
Which would put her in direct conflict with the statist godless ideology of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
This theory will quickly be put to the test when the likes of Chuck - never met a credit report he couldn't use - Schumer accuses her of being a fire-breathing snake-handling fundamentalist southerner that will force prayer back in school. Look for Michael Newdow to lead the charge against her.
