Earlier I said I would try to post on the nomination of John Roberts. I still get the feeling that he was not the best candidate if Bush's goal was to put a philosophical stamp on the court.
Having said that, his next choice, Harriet Miers, immediately disturbs me, just for the fact that she has never been a judge. I get the impression from listening to Laura Ingraham that a lot of other conservatives are skeptical of her too. In any case, appointing the White House Counsel seems to be a very clear case of cronyism. I will have to find out more about her positions or her political philosophy, though, before I can definitiely say whether she is good or bad.
But the bottom line? It doesn't look good.
That is all.
