You are almost never going to see me posting something from Coulter, in part because I don't read her garbage. But when a broken clock is right that two times a day, you have to take note. From AmericaBlog, which apparently is willing to wade through the landfill known as Ann Coulter's website. I understand and sympathize with the Democratic perspective that we're not likely to get better than Miers - maybe - if you assume that she will be like O'Connor -w hich I have NO reason to believe. But sorry, I want a bit more qualification than I am seeing from Miers.
First, Bush has no right to say "Trust me." He was elected to represent the American people, not to be dictator for eight years. Among the coalitions that elected Bush are people who have been laboring in the trenches for a quarter-century to change the legal order in America. While Bush was still boozing it up in the early '80s, Ed Meese, Antonin Scalia, Robert Bork and all the founders of the Federalist Society began creating a farm team of massive legal talent on the right....
Being a Supreme Court justice ought to be a mind-numbingly tedious job suitable only for super-nerds trained in legal reasoning like John Roberts. Being on the Supreme Court isn't like winning a "Best Employee of the Month" award. It's a real job....
Bush may as well appoint his chauffeur head of NASA as put Miers on the Supreme Court....
However nice, helpful, prompt and tidy she is, Harriet Miers isn't qualified to play a Supreme Court justice on "The West Wing," let alone to be a real one.
