So then your one and only reason is "Bush said it, I believe it, and that settles it." ?

Can you seriously argue that a mind unashamed to publicly write junior high school level prose is qualified to be on the most elite court of this nation ?

Certainly. Some very intelligent people don't write well, or are dyslexic or something like that.

She'll have plenty of people to help her write opinions.

But she could very well be articulate in verbal speech. I've seen that combination too many times to think that it's a rarity.

I've read her notes. That is nothing more than writing unimportant items while being preoccupied with other matters. Let's see what Mark Levin had to say about her in an interview with Hugh Hewitt:

ML: (laughing) Hugh, you're trying. I love you, brother. But that's irrelevant to me. I'm not interested in the statistics of three prior justices, where they come from. That doesn't inform me at all. I mean, William O. Douglass served in the SEC, and he came out of Washington, too. I mean, it doesn't matter to me. Here's what I want you to help me with. I want to feel, taste, see her judicial philosophy. I don't want to hear about all the wonderful job she did. Let's assume that she's a competent attorney, okay? That's a given. There's no question about that.

HH: A very good competent attorney?

ML: I don't have idea. Everybody tells me she's a good, competent attorney.
