President Bush has chosen White House counsel Harriet Miers as his nominee for the Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, CNN has learned. Miers, who has never been a judge, has been leading the White House effort to help Bush choose nominees to the Supreme Court.
I have no words.
So Bush once again chooses loyalty over competency? Good Lord, that man has a thick skull.
Dick Cheney II - Electric boogaloo. I mean, I really don't think it's that smart to pick the person in charge of the search committee for the job. So much for the CEO president.
It's exactly Dick Cheney II.
In happier news, my car didn't get an overnight ticket, and I was able to move it to a non-permit space. Take that, The Man!
May your shiny new car always duck The Man.
Really, I am without words on the nomination. It is just business as usual. Supreme Court appointments as gifts for political friends.
Need coffee.

The fact that she's never been a judge means no judicial record. It will be twice as tough to find grounds on which to base an argument against her nomination. That fact that she's in his inner circle and was his private attorney assures him of her loyalty to his legislative agenda.

one of matt's phones is beeping low battery at me. once again he sleeps thru it. I hope I have the right one plugged int. I seem to have a cold and I am still emotionally over wrought from Serenituy. Plus due the mini sf F2F - tired.
I'm kind of confuzzled by the Bush nomination for the Supreme Court. Shouldn't one of the most important judges in the country have experience as a judge? Or is that just crazy talk?

Historically, it's not that uncommon for a non-judge to be nominated.
It's not unprecedented to nominate non-judges to SCOTUS. But when non-judges get nominated, they tend to be high-profile politicians like Earl Warren, who was Governor of California, or William Taft, who was an ex-president.
I'd say that it's pretty unusual to nominate someone with this low a profile.
