[Senator Goldwater]

I'll await the hearings to judge her, but I'm not crazy about the fact that the president didn't go with someone at least a decade younger.

[I see my hands]

She does seem spry. And if she can put in 12-15 years.. That's quite a while, really. Plus, a "kid" is less stable and that's where the risk is.

But yeah, 60? That was my first thought.

(GO AZ!)

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

That's just one of the many, many legitimate reservations that I-and millions of other conservatives throughout this country-have expressed about this nominee's glaring mediocrity.

She fails on so many different levels-even prior to being subjected to the scrutiny of the U.S. Senate-that it's not even amusing anymore.

-Separation of powers

She will have to recuse herself from every single case that makes its way to the Supreme Court docket which involves this administration in even the most tangential way.

Think about that!

-Cronyism

I don't care how you choose to rationalize it, that's what it is, pure and simple. This nomination should be just as objectionable-if not more so, considering its provenance in a purportedly conservative, Republican administration-as the gross nepotism exercised by John F. Kennedy at the DOJ during the early 1960s.

-Paper trail

This woman has left no discernible impact upon her chosen profession, after spending literally decades of her life devoted to it. This is an individual who is sixty years old, and yet has left not even the most shallow imprint upon her chosen vocation. Replace the word "stealth" with "unqualified" and you'll see where I'm heading with this.
