A very undistinguished Circuit Court Judge, it must be said.
Said by whom?
Just curious, what will it take for you to criticize the President? Does he have to go so far as to physically attack you or a family member, or is this a complete "unconditional love" sort of thing?
It's not like Thomas had much time on the bench to demonstrate otherwise.
Frankly, Thomas was a marginally qualified pick who was selected for other reasons. We ended up getting lucky with him. Even so it took several years for him to get his bearings.
He also went to a top ten law school. I don't think that's a prerequisite for the Court. The differences between top ten and a top fifty law school are fairly small save for networking opportunities. But Southern Methodist University?
It's a decent law school now. 40 years ago it wasn't quite that.
Why the need to put down Thomas as if that advances your case for Miers. He was not only a federal appellate judge, but he was EEOC chairman, a solid conservative in that post, and a well-known entity in the administration. Now, if you have some record on Miers you want to share, do it. But don't dump on Thomas.
