"I'm amazed at the wailing and knashing of teeth at the thought of a Texas sunday school teacher on the court. This is elitism at it worst."
This is cracked logic at its best.
Would you and the 80,000 other Freepers who are calling everyone who advances honest questions about this woman's credentials and abilities quit calling us elitists? I mean, Jesus, is that all you got?
Because elitism is what this looks like.
Ginsberg apparently is "qualified", but she's an idiot. Even O'Connor has been quoting non US law in her decisions. How "qualified" is someone who doesn't understand that non US law is irrelevant?
How "qualified" is she compared to Thomas? Granted, I like his opinions, but if I remember right he wasn't any particularly deep constitutional lawyer. He was head of the EEOC and I think a Judge for a year or so.
What she does have is real world experience, and lots of it. Knowing Bush, her appointment will stand and she'll get a vote in the Senate.
It's 11th commandment time.
