Besides, Bush did not select her for any of the reasons you are favoring her. He selected her out of cronyism.

I find it really amusing (NOT) that so many people on this board presume to know what President Bush is thinking and why he does what he does.

That's pretty arrogant.

And that's the same thing people who support the miers pick are doing, oddly enough.

Are you arrogant enough to presume to know that he did not select her out of cronyism? If it was not cronyism, then it was much worse; Bush must think that one conservative lawyer is as good as any other. They teach the constitution in law school, right? Then she must be qualified! /Bush

I find it more arrogant that the President would ask us to appoint someone to a lifelong post on the High court based upon his personal relationship with the nominee and little else. How are we supposed to plump those depths to confirm his judgement of her; we do not have the personal knowledge and context that he claims to have.
