Excuse me?! You're promoting egalitarianism and populism as desirable philosophical bases for making lifetime appointments to a non-representative body?
Conservatism still has a way to go, it seems.

The rift is not between the left and the right, the liberals and the conservatives, but between the new and the old, the new thinkers and the defenders of the status quo. It's becoming more apparent that something much more profound is in play here eliciting these irrational responses and hysteria over different ways of doing things.
Will still defends the old elitism -- rather than the new egalitarianism that shifts the power from the old eastern liberal insitutions (Harvard, New York Times, Washington D.C., to the populism founded in western, frontier, egalitarian impulses and independence. Anybody west of the Mississippi is considered a cowboy -- instead of the preferred effete intellectual snob.

I call it THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX--something the anti-Miers herd simply refuses to do. Instead, they march in lockstep like mind-numbed robots tripping and skipping behind elitist pied pipers.
Elitism is a baseless charge.
Some of Miers critics may have attended Ivy League schools, but the Supreme Court nominees they would support did not.
