If Harriet Miers were not a crony of the president of the United States, her nomination to the Supreme Court would be a joke, as it would have occurred to no one else to nominate her.

Yup.

True... and when/if she turns out to be exactly what we were hoping for, everyone will know that it was ONLY because of Bush that this happened.

(And if she turns into Souter in a skirt we'll know that too).

This is for all the chips on the table. The man doesn't play small.

That may be so, but would Scalia, Rehnquist, or Thomas had been on the top of anyone's list if they had not had advocates in the administrations that named them to the court.

I don't think that too many people around here are going to be upset with Miers' opinions, so why does everyone have their panties in a wad? Bush can't trust the Republican Senate leadership to employ the nuclear option and stop the Democrats' filibuster tactics so he was forced to push through another stealth candidate.
