She is NOT a Scalia or a Thomas.
I hope I am wrong...
1) religious litmus test -- anyone who might hold sincere religious beliefs of the Christian variety need not apply;
2) She's never served on a court (uh, like 35 other supreme court justices who'd never before served on the bench)
I could be wrong, and certainly need more info, but it seems Bush is carefully selecting people who are held in high esteem by the Bar in general, who know how to "get along" in a highly liberal profession, and who have kept their noses mighty clean.
What good does it do if you've got a great conservative as a nominee, but they've got something on their record that can be spun on the vast MSM megaphone -- even though there's an unfair double standard (e.g., you can run a house of prostitution from your Capitol Hill townhouse, and stay in Congress, drown women in your car, etc and get away with it).
This nominee was the first female Texas Bar president -- not that this is the greatest thing in the world, but you don't get there by being weird, unable to get along with folks, etc.
Finally, I can name a ton of White House Counsel, male, liberal, with very, very similar credentials, who the Left would swoon over, and there would be no whisper that they weren't qualified.....so I just don't buy that about this nominee's resume.
