Not only is there almost no enthusiasm for her nomination, I have never seen as much outright hostility and even anger at an appointment from a president's own party. This is Abe Fortas revisited.

another case of a TX president, with high spending and a controversial war naming a crony. coincidence?
although, to be fair, Fortas was on the SC alreaady.

Yep. As a nomination its a complete fiasco. It was badly handled and the follow-up has been completely inept. She may be a good pedestrian attorney but what we've learned so far makes Miers unfit for the Supreme Court.

Let's be fair to Harriet. While she fits the definition of a crony, there's no evidence that she's a crook. I'm unhappy with her selection because she doesn't have a proven track record, not because I think she's a terrible person.

Abe Fortas....
"During his time on the Court, Fortas continued to advise LBJ on political matters, both foreign and domestic."
Honest Abe Fortas was not as honest as the liberals said he was. It was later determined that Fortas was making late night visits to the White House for off the record updates on what the Supreme Court members were doing and thinking.
Fortas had been a hangerson crony of LBJ since 1937.

Now you did it. You'll be getting the "who's Abe Fortas and what did he do" question :-)
But you're right, this is pretty close. As close I guess in 'modern' history (for us old guys).
