Bush's brain "very involved" in decision of Miers

So Rove wanted Miers.  This is reason alone to vote her down.
No one will ever know how this lady thinks.  And the fact that
Rove wants her in, scares the crap out of me.

Senior Bush adviser Karl Rove was "very involved" in
President Bush's Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers,
who was selected in part because she has no judicial track
record, according to a Republican with close ties to the
administration.
    "We know that Rove was very involved in the process,
and he's certainly well tuned in to the Hill and how it
works," said GOP strategist Charlie Black. "I
suspect the Senate leadership might have given him the advice
to take into consideration on how hard or how easy someone
would be to confirm."
