OK, I followed your link and it's pretty unconvincing, especially the part about Judge Roberts. He became a federal judge based on his accomplishments, not because of who he knew. You can't seriously believe that she would have become White House Counsel in a different President's administration, do you?
"This is "more qualified" cr*p is ridiculous arrogance."
I disagree. I think there are numerous more qualified picks and I'm not arrogant. Just observant.
I go round and round and round on this.
"We can't trust Bush on a judicial nomination."
"Well, okay, Bush (and Miers) have done pretty well on judicial nominations, but she's not qualified."
"Well, maybe she's qualified but there are more qualified candidates."
"Well, okay maybe I haven't actually read the paper trail of those other more qualified candidates, nor have I seen the FBI report, nor the interviews with friends and enemies, nor interviewed the candidate, nor do I really know the lanscape of the Senate in getting any of those candidates confirmed...but she is only been nominated because Bush knows her so well!
Fine. Here is my response to THAT. (scroll down to the "hiring an employee analogy)
