Well lets see...for all you who claim Miers will not be a a Clarence Thomas...

Incoming Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Sunday had harsh words for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

When asked to comment on Thomas as a possible replacement for Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Reid told NBC's 'Meet the Press': 'I think that he has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court.

'I think that his opinions are poorly written. I just don't think that he's done a good job as a Supreme Court justice.'

So, I see a lot of you are graduates of the 'Harry Reid School of Attack'.

I'm sorry, but the only possible response to something that garbled and incomprehensible is: "... whaaaaaaa -- ?!?"

"When you can't honestly or intelligently attack the substance of your opponent's point" (the online credo of the flailing and the desperate goes), "attack your opponent, instead." Rather than offer up even a failed attempt at rebutting the article's stated contentions -- and, given the spastic nature of Miers' prose and maladroit logic revealed therein, I can certainly sympathize, somewhat -- you attempt (ineptly) to make us the subject, instead...?

Pfui. If that's truly the sharpest arrow in your quiver... then: you're unarmed, plain and simple. And my conscience simply won't allow me to shoot at those plainly incapable of shooting back.

There is a huge difference between jotting a note to a friend or colleague and writing a legal opinion.

I'm not saying this is a good pick. I think it would be better to have the darn fight already. Nothing would make me happier if one of these nominees said, "Rowe was decided wrongly, I think it should be over turned. It is up to the legislatures of the states or the congress to regulate this behavior if they choose to." I'd just love to see old Shummer to go aplopoxic.

But I do think she could make a good judge and looking at birthday cards is no way to tell ANYTHING.
