I remember an avalanche of negative comments when Roberts was announced. Conservatives had already presented their list, and Roberts wasn't on it - shock and horror!
And I tried to reassure as many people as I could that I had an inside line on Roberts from an uber-conservative who'd known him for years. I thought Miers was a disaster from the get-go (and I didn't need the media to tell me that) & I still have no idea why Bush picked her. A SCOTUS seat is way too much reward for loyalty. I was waiting for her to get out of committee, then write both my Republican Senators to oppose her. I'm not sure I'm happy about her withdrawing. I know I'm not happy about all the infighting there's been.
I gues what I'd really like is to win my ebay bid on the flux capacitor, put it in my DeLorean and have him not pick her to begin with.
True! However, once they got to Miers; the screaming and carrying-on was FFRRIGHTENING!!
Happy Halloween!
