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.
ROTFLMAO!
BTW you know you should ping someone when you speak of them! ;)
LOL! I was not wowed by her, either, but I think she should have had hearings. Maybe Bush - who knows her personally - actually had very good reasons for appointing her, and she would have been wonderful. And then again, maybe not.
My point is that having it work out this way really undermines the President and, in fact, the whole SC vetting process, which has already been seriously undermined by the Dem manipulation of it. I think no matter who he picks now, it's going to be ten times the circus that it was before (if such a thing is even imaginable).
