Reply #9: I can't believe I share this opinion with this person!! [View All]

"But her qualifications for the Supreme Court are non-existent. She is not a brilliant jurist, indeed, has never been a judge. She is not a scholar of the law. Researchers are hard-pressed to dig up an opinion. She has not had a brilliant career in politics, the academy, the corporate world or public forum. Were she not a friend of Bush, and female, she would never have even been considered.

What commended her to the White House, in the phrase of the hour, is that she “has no paper trail.” So far as one can see, this is Harriet Miers’ principal qualification for the U.S. Supreme Court."

For the first time in his life, W has actually beeen a unificater, not a divisabler! He has brought the far right and the far left together in their revulsion of this appointment. And some of the squishy squashy middle is just grateful, because, hey, it could have been worse. I honestly cannot imagine any situation that could be worse.
