Harriet who?
Senate presses for quick Miers confirmation - MSNBC.com
I don't know...I just don't know. It seems that cronyism rules in the Bush White House lately; could Harriet Miers' SCOTUS nod be the latest in a long, bad string of friendly appointments? Since she has no judicial record, there is no telling. Her record of service to date does not have anything outstanding in it, either. She looks the part, though, in a kind of sweet grandmotherly way, like O'Connor. But we're not talking about looks here are we, because if we were I would say all John Roberts needed were fins and gills and he would have fit nicely into "Finding Nemo."
I suspect she won't answer anything during the course of the Senate Hearings. After the Katrina catastrophe/Brown/FEMA embarrassment, it would be no surprise if GOP senators are considering a filibuster of Miers. In light of Harry Reid (D-NV) recommending her nomination to the president, I'm sure the thought has crossed the more conservative minds in the senate. I honestly wonder what the president was thinking.
This will be an interesting story to follow in the coming weeks, mostly because its outcome will indicate whether or not we have a "lame duck" president in the White House.
