"All our great Presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified." -Franklin D. Roosevelt, September 11, 1932

Harriet Miers??

I have been traveling this morning and just sat down to see the news that President Bush has nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court. She's never been a judge. Her record as an attorney is less than stellar. Yet Bush nominated her.

Her qualification?

She is apparently an old Bush family lap dog.

I have to get to the office so more later. But, at this early stage, I lean toward suggesting the Senate reject her nomination.
