Harriet Miers Nominated to fill O'Connor's Seat
The president of People for the American Way stated the following:
“President Bush has nominated his personal lawyer and long-time friend to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. His choice raises serious questions about whether he has found a nominee who has the requisite qualifications and independence for the nation’s highest court."
Does anyone see this as bad timing? Is Bush using two major hurricanes to drown out the coverage of his two Supreme Court nominees? (Like the analogy? Hurricanes? Drown out? Anyways, this is serious, I shouldn't joke). I guess we'll never know. Regardless, this is the PERSONAL LAWYER and long-time friend of one of the most conservative president's this country has seen since Teddy Roosevelt, and at least he helped the environment. No lawyer can say they aren't influenced by their client when their client is the President of the United States. She's been asked to fight for everything the president wants to fight for. She has no judicial experience. Is this a proper nominee for the Supreme Court? Keep an eye on this nomination, and don't go unheard.

so wait, if she has no judicial experience, how are they going to evaluate what kind of votes she's going to make? and thats not a rhetorical question, I really want to know how they're going to make this decision without having anything to really look at.
They keep claiming she has plenty of experience, but you'd think that being one of the nine most powerful judges in America would require at least a day or two of judging experience. Being a lawyer and president of the Texas (where they killed retards until two years ago) State Bar Association doesn't seem to make you qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice. Bush is giving favors to friends in the form of lifetime bench appointments.
for as clueless as he is (or pretends to be), he knows exactly what he's doing. I wish he cared about the rest of the country as much as he cares about his rich friends...
Did you hear she ran the committee to select the nomination for the empty seat? She gave it to herself. Sound familiar? Cheney did it in 2000.
what? how does that happen??
It does, baby....It does.
