By the way, Miers has made cash contributions to Lloyd Benson, Al Gore, and the DNC. Maybe you need to spend less time drinking the White House Kool-aid and more time doing research.

I heard she switched parties. So what.

There's a whole lot of pre-judging the judge around here this morning.

RE: the WH Kool-aid comment, these picks are more important to GWB than you or me.

Souter is his father's worst mistake(he says so).

I for one do NOT think GWB is willing to make that kind of mistake.

How about a little faith?

Huh? We're not going to have to live with the consequences of these picks? He'll just go off into retirement.

Based on what? His vague promises?

I hear what you're saying, but faith is a little tough to come by these days, especially where the Bush Administration is concerned. I held fire on Roberts, even with a lot of misgivings. I'm hoping he'll not be any to the left of Rehnquist, but who can really say? Miers is a political operative, there is no question of that. So why would Bush choose her over any one of a dozen other outstanding and better qualified possibilities? I'm ready to believe. Convince me.
