Harriet Miers nominated to replace O'Connor

Bush has nominated Harriet Miers to replace retiring justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

Thoughts?

I am personally not very pleased.

She's NEVER been a judge. Yeah, great. Who needs experience or opinions, anyhow?

[chapstickqueen]

Not only that, but she was the President's personal attorney, and currently she's White House counsel.

Umm...can we say....conflict of interest?

[savestheworld]

seperation of WHAT? hahah

[superexposed]

I'm certain she has opinions to offer...

Wow Bush is a real jerk to Gonzales, passing him over twice but talking about it like he's totally the nominee.

This woman is not looking good, and it looks much less ambiguous about her politics than Roberts.

[gonzaloguerrero]

She seems like an odd choice. But, then again, maybe not. She doesn't have a judicial record and, therefore, none to oppose.

Isn't this the DEFINITION of Cronyism?

[crafting_change]

I think so.

As soon as I read what chapstickqueen posted, that was my first thought.

This is great! No one has a clue about her, so she can teach napkin folding and card shuffling to the old wives of the justices and then help dismantle Roe and no one will see it coming because she has nothing to hide - there's nothing to find!...it's perfect.

sweet perfection.

Hahahaha what a master thinker! I'm jealous of his deviousness!
