[Clara Lou]

SCOTUS positions should not be handed out to loyal vassals who are just buddies of the king.
A) What insider information do you have, please tell us, that you know this is what Bush is doing? Or, is this just your idle speculation? [My guess: the latter choice]
B) Your use of the word "king" gives you away.

[Travis McGee]

Clara, face it. If Harriet wasn't W's pal, she'd wouldn't be on the "short list" of 10,000 for SCOTUS.

"Pal of the President" is NOT a qualification for SCOTUS.

That's just croneyism. And I DON'T trust W., not when he's left the border wide open, 4 years after 9-11, and promoted a bubble-headed cluless Barbie doll named Julie Meyers to head ICE. Even she admitted she knows NOTHING about the job. She is, in civil service terms, MAYBE a Major, being promoted to a three star general! PURE croneyism, above national security!

These are serious times, NOT a time to reward personal buddies and nieces of the powerful to critical postitions!
