I've shut my eyes to a lot of things, for two reasons: the Bush Doctrine, and the promise of the Supreme Court nominations.
He got a pass on Roberts, on the admittedly shaky presumption that a man so intelligent almost HAS to be a conservative and an originalist.
But Harriet Miers---no. The very arguments presented in her defense are damning in their faintness and superficiality.

ugh!
