Do you think next time we will still need to resort to phrenology?
Didn't you see that forehead?
Perhaps you "resorted to phrenology" - but if you DID, its unlikely you opposed Miers - I think that is the technique Bush used to select her - either that or astrology.
The woman was a Democrat sympathizer with no core Constitutional or social values and utterly unqualified for the office for which she was nominated. IN fact, my own suspicion is that she didn't seek the nomination in the first palce, but was pressed by Bush as a compromise candidate because he doesn't want a battle with Congress over this issue.
This is President who has demonstrated a marked inability to use high handed pressure to secure the support of mavericks in his own political party - people like McCain et al. And high ahnded pressure tactics are dfeintely called for in securing his campaign promises to his base.
Isn't that what they have been doing? How else would you account for all those pointy heads?
