Your are absolutely on point, but I don't think many on this board appreciate the subtle implication. For you folks from Loma Linda, a lawyer who spends five of her peak earning years on the Texas Lottery Commission is no legal star. A big fish in a small pond, perhaps, but no one of the caliber one would expect for the supreme court.

This resume screams feisty corporate lawyer who used political connections and loyalty to people in power to advance above junior partner at a connected fixer law firm in Austin. Constitutional issues? Who cares? How is that going to add to billable hours and get our candidate for County Commissioner elected?

My lord, this is Bush's jump the shark moment. The scene in which he goes completely over the top in a fit of pique just to demonstrate that he is sick of Washington and wants to go home to Crawford. It is an understandable emotion, but he owes the country something. He owes his (formerly) loyal supporters something. He has disappointed us all. I'm devastated.

This is SOOOO DEPRESSING!!!!!!

I'm just shocked and disappointed in George Bush.

Luttig and Williams were available. We could have had a textualist court.

Be Seeing You,

I earlier wondered if she isn't the legal world's equivalant of Carly Fiorina. Pure speculation on my part, as I know next to nothing about Ms. Miers.
