Too many conservatives have themselves fallen prey to a form of Bush Derangement Syndrome.

I have a simple test: Is this an outstanding nomination? Miers doesn't pass that test.

This republic is too far gone to afford anything less than a paragon of judicial scholarship. Betting that Stevens will quit in time to fix it is a very risky move.

"This republic is too far gone to afford anything less than a paragon of judicial scholarship."

What "scholarship" would that be? Would it be the "scholarship" that our law schools promote?

If so, deconstruction and radical historicism isn't exactly much to bank on.
