Bush's compassionate conservatism works for me on his Supreme Court choices
■"White House Counsel Miers Chosen for Court: Longtime Aide To Bush, but Never a Judge," by Michael A. Fletcher, Washington Post, 4 October 2005, p. A1.
To me, this choice is great. I love the idea of the non-judge (though she's still a lawyer) and the politico. That sort of homogeneity is just plain wrong for an institution as important as the Supreme Court. No more weirdo, life-led-in-a-legal-cocoon types.
So Miers is a Bush loyalist. Big deal! He's supposed to pick people he doesn't like, doesn't know, doesn't trust?
In combination (Roberts and Miers), the Dems cannot complain about these picks. America does just fine.
