Abrams thinks Bush should pick Ted Olson....

If he does, I am going to DC to picket the White House. I hate that bastard.

I'll throw a name out there — one I think should be acceptable to everyone, an attorney with unassailable credentials and someone I know and like. Ted Olson. He’s the former solicitor general for President Bush, a well-respected appellate attorney, assistant attorney general to President Reagan, but probably best known for winning Bush v. Gore before the Supreme Court in 2000. Olson is a solid mainstream conservative with a long paper trail, he's argued dozens of times before the Supreme Court and he is well respected in the legal community.

1. Where did Abrams go to law school?

Not that he has to have done that to have an opinion mind you.

3. Neal Boortz (RW radio chickenhawk) said the same thing this morning.

It must be the RW talking point for the day.

4. Best known for being a complete asshat. And for Bush v Gore

Although, now that the name is thrown out there, I wouldn't be suprised if Bush picks him.

7. He should pick someone with judicial experience

Then there's a record to look at that is relevant to the situation.

Ted Olsen is just a male Harriet Meiers-a crony who's never been on the bench before.
