If the lack of a "paper trail" is the leading qualifications for a Supreme Court nomination, I don't know why I wasn't picked? There is nothing on me! Okay, I'm not personal friends with Bush...which is the other major qualification.
Forget brilliant writing, excellent opinions, and judicial leadership, President Bush has determined that personal friendship and a quiet mouth are leading attributes for the Supreme Court. This is the United States, not Mexico. Nepotism and cronyism are growing atttributes in America.
The nomination of Harriet Miers is going to sink the conservative base. The Republicans . Even Republican cheerleaders, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, couldn't rightly defend the nomination. "Trust me" is what Dick Cheney said today. Why? Why should anyone be relegated to solely "trust" when Republicans are supposedly in control of the Senate?
