Re: Miers and the White House’s Judicial Selection Committee
[Edward Whelan 10/14 05:19 PM]
My post on Hugh Hewitt’s account (http://bench.nationalreview.com/archives/079595.asp) elicited this e-mail from someone I know and trust:
“Hewitt says that Miers was a member of the White House Judicial Selection Committee for the last three years, i.e., from October 2002 to the present. I attended virtually every meeting of the White House Judicial Selection Committee from the start of that period (October 2002) into the summer of 2003. Neither Harriet Miers nor any of her staff attended a single meeting during that period.”
GREAT find!
Whereas Hewitt has mostly left most Freepers lukewarm at best in the past, now all of a sudden he has become the fount of conservative wisdom and civility, because he "articulates" what certain people here want to hear.
But thank you for pointing out that, before he was wise and civil, he was a freaking hypocrite!
First, he was talking about appeals court judges. Second, those of us who think Miers is unqualified are not even trying to hold her to this standard (federal judicial experience). We are just trying to hold her to some standard, some track record which shows that she has the intellectual wherewithall to hold her own in the heady atmosphere of SC debates and sound as though she knows what she is talking about - something more than setting up a complaints hot-line.
