Lesson Learned

Well I see that Dubya has learned his lesson about cronyism and how dangerous that practice is when appointing people to important posts.

President Bush today nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. "She will strictly interpret our Constitution and laws. She will not legislate from the bench," Bush said in announcing his choice from the Oval Office. Miers, who has never been a judge, has been leading the White House effort to help Bush choose nominees to the Supreme Court.

Is is too much to ask that someone appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States of America to have at least played a judge on TV? Are we taking bets on whether this appointment will generate any testicular fortitude among the so-called opposition party? Everyone take a deep breath and hold it now.

Rick Hasen over at ElectionLaw believes this is just a Rovian set up to get the Dems to waste energy and set up a situation for the real pick. Janice Rogers Brown or someone like her.
