President taps Texan
President taps Texan
who`s never been judge
Supreme Court choice of Harriet Miers apparently pre-approved by Democrats

President Bush today nominated a Texas lawyer who serves as White House counsel, Harriet Miers, to replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court – a pick that apparently was pre-approved by Senate Democratic leadership.

In choosing Miers, Bush tapped a person who has never been a judge and therefore has no judicial record for opponents to criticize.

So they HAD to OK her because they can't argue her record??

1. He tapped her because every question she is asked she can
refuse to answer on the grounds of attorney/client privilege.

Frankly, as much as I hate the *, it is a brilliant move.
