Guess Cheney should resign too, based on your requirements. He selected himself.
The nomination of Miers is particularly troubling, since the man in charge of vetting her stood to gain a promotion if she was ultimately picked by President Bush to fill the O'Connor vacancy.
======================================================== Cute comment. Also meaningless.
Cheney isn't a judge, and he isn't going to be on the SCOTUS for life, even if the ill-advised "short-cut" route in that case resulted in a decent V.P..
These two picks (Roberts and Miers) are disasterous, when one thinks of what could have been. They are scary, from a conservative's perspective, based on 40 years of leftist SCOTUS picks by Republican Presidents.
And the best Miers supporters can offer is that she's a good Christian who has a left-wing past, but isn't likely to do anything too bad on the bench, because the President knows her so well. This in view of, again, the past 40 years of activist SCOTUS judges ...
