Bush Nominates Another Hack

Harriet Miers. Here’s what I’ve found out so far:

1. She’s never been a judge.

2. She’s represented Bush as his attorney and has had a long and loyal relationship with him.

3. She pulled a Cheney and was put in charge of a search process and ended up choosing herself.

Bush has absolutely no respect for the Supreme Court. Even the rightwingers are calling her a Bush crony. Atrios quotes John Podhoretz with a real that-about-sums-it-up comment:

This is the Supreme Court we're talking about! It's not a job for a political functionary!
Disgusting.
