There's no way she's going to get "Borked" as Harry Reid already suggested her name to the President. Now what does that tell you???
Brit Hume had some dude on yesterday that was defending the pick, and he went on and on about how she's an Evangelical Christian, how people just don't know her, and how she's perfect for the job. Then Hume started asking questions like are all Evangelical Christians conservatives, and the answer was no. Then he asked the guy if he had ever met Miers, and he said no, he was just basing his opinion on what he had heard from "a lot of people who know her well." When Hume asked who these people were, the guy could only mention one name and he did that reluctantly. Then Hume asked for the "gut check" question, will she be the kind of judge that Republicans want, and the answer was "I guess we won't know that until she's been on the bench for a while."
Well... that's the kicker right there. Nobody knows what this woman will do once she's on the bench for a while, and the only way to find out is to put her on the bench, and at that point there's nothing you can do about it if she turns out to be another Souter. So, why pcik an unknown when there are several great knowns to pick from? Because Bush is a pussy.
