It's probably for the best. Too much perception of doing an old friend a favor.

Let's hope someone like Janice Rogers Brown gets the call.

Can't understand why everyone thinks that someone has to have a 'national presence', be a big name, etc to get on the SC.

What's the matter with someone who just has some common sense and can read the Federalist papers?

Maybe I'm lacking something in the brain area for saying it, but it doesn't seem that judging a law on it's constitutionality is a very hard thing to do. If you can't write well, get someone else on the court to write the opinion.

I always was one to look at things in a simplistic manner. Probably too simple for this issue. [shock]

Harriet Miers spent her teens in an all-white high school far removed from the racial and social upheaval of the early 1960s, consumed instead with academics, tennis and even a stint as the school newspaper's assistant sports editor.

Ant this is of concern in a nominee for the Supreme Court why???

Well Ross- didn't you know that in order to be eligible for the Supreme Court you must have lived amidst upheaval. I hear they are currently scouting pimps from Compton. Not only will they make for a diverse panel, but they will be swift in handing out the pimp hand of justice...

My only beef with her is she was never a judge.

I think you also have to have lived in a Yert (or is is Yurt) for at least a year.

and said Domicile cannot have plumbing.
