Quite an elitist argument, and precisely the issue. Would that Mr. Bush would learn to waltz with those who brought him to the dance.
In any case, I have no intention of supporting an unqualified nominee. If persuasion of wobbly or Dem senators is required, Mr. Bush is on his own. And to that extent, yes, I do have a vote.
Perhaps it will make no difference, but it is a far more principled stand, in favor of seeing that this country has the very best available, than that taken by Mr. Bush.
Constitutionally, a Justice needn't even be a lawyer.
