Bush Nominates Crony for Supreme Court
Bush names Hariet Miers, White House counsel as his pick for the vacant Supreme Court seat. Another crony. Just what we need, someone more loyal to George Bush than to the Constitution. She's never been a judge. She has worked for George Bush in some capacity since 1995. She has very little public record. Based on George Bush's track record on assessing the character and competency of the people he's appointed to other posts I don't think we can give him a pass on this nomination. Let's review the types of folks George Bush thinks were qualifiied for a top post in his administration, Mike Brown, Don Rumsfeld, Bernard B. Kerik, John Ashcroft, etc. Loyalty over qualifications. Loyalty to George Bush should not be the most important attribute in a Supreme Court nominee. This is clearly the pick of a man of little courage, imagination, and intellect. We've borne the brunt of Bush cronies for the past five years, we can't bear one on the Supreme Court.
