Makes Sense to Me

Via Washington Monthly's Political Animal from a "lawyer who is a conservative Christian who worked with [SCOTUS Nominee] Miers:"

"Harriet could have become a conservative in Washington, but unless she did, she doesn’t have any particular judicial philosophy… I never heard her take a position on anything… We’ll have another Sandra Day O’Connor… Harriet worships the president and has called him the smartest man she’s known. She’s a pretty good lawyer…. This president can be bamboozled by anyone he feels close to. If a person fawns on him enough, is loyal, works 25 hours a day and says you’re the smartest man I ever met, all of a sudden you’re right for the Supreme Court."

Hah. Pretty amusing situation here. I'd say that very few secularists or moderates, much less liberals, would feel that the President has done anything but push forward with a ridiculous cronyist agenda of conservative Christians. Seems like he's been tapping those shoulders the whole path along. So for them to feel scorn and even derision... Interesting issues forming here. Seems as though The Administration tried to placate the Democrats with this one and may have inflamed "the base."
