Bush Learns Nothing From FEMA Fiasco, Nominates Political Crony To Supreme Court...
Oh, and she's never been a judge, either. Even if that has happened before, that's very weird...
It seems like her duties for the past several years have mostly been keeping Bush from getting in legal trouble.
Does that qualify anyone for a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court???
UPDATE: Atrios has pin-pointed the reason why hardcore conservatives (like you, Tull) are disappointed with the Miers nomination:
They (conservatives) wanted Bush to find the wingnuttiest wingnut on the planet, fully clothed and accessorized in all the latest wingnut fashions, not just to give them their desired Court rulings, but also to publicly validate their influence and power. They didn't just want substantive results, what they wanted even more were symbolic ones. They wanted Bush to extend a giant middle finger to everyone to the left of John Ashcroft. They wanted to watch Democrats howl and scream and then ultimately lose a nasty confirmation battle. They wanted this to be their "WE RUN THE COUNTRY AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT" moment.Spot on...
Whatever kind of judge she would be, she doesn't provide them with that.
