As Mark Levin said on his show last night....he was involved in the vetting of Anthony Kennedy and Kennedy lied through his teeth about his judicial philosophy. Anyone can say anything. Why leave anything to chance? Why, when there were potential nominees with a strong record...should we now just hope and trust...why didn't he pick someone who had a record of originalism? Why? I just don't get it

All your Levin anecdote illustrates is no vetting is perfect. President Bush has worked with Miers for years and she has spearheaded that very process for his other nominees. This reminds me of the Cheney pick. The odds are much more in Bush's favor that Miers is as he represents.

BTW, I didn't realize Levin is living with the shame of not vetting Kennedy properly and blaming it on "lies". Not very impressive for Mark.

Kennedy was moonlighting as a law professor when he was picked for the USSC. All one had to do was talk to some of his students and it would have been clear as to the man's political leanings.

Guess when you're an elite lawyer like Levin, that would just not have come to mind.

And we're supposed to trust his judgment of Miers?
