Why the fuss over Harriet?
 

Harry,
If you have decided "they" deserve whatever they get, why do you bother with
this post?

I don't understand the conservative dissent over Harriet the Maid. She's
absolutely the perfect choice for a rube like Bush: a simple-minded crone
who will do whatever President Idiot wants. You'd think the righties would
be rejoicing.

I guess I'm getting more cynical. The worse the choices Bush makes, and
the more harm those choices cause, the more I'm beginning to believe
Americans deserve it. America is just reaping what it has sown, eh?

Miers to Face Questions on Qualifications
Harriet Miers to Face Vigorous Questioning on Privacy Rights,
Qualifications for Supreme Court
By HOPE YEN

WASHINGTON - As doubts grow about her abortion views, Harriet Miers will
face vigorous questioning on privacy rights and her qualifications for the
Supreme Court, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Sunday.

Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said President Bush's pick to replace retiring
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor must show she can handle complicated legal
issues and has not cut deals with the White House to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Miers' nomination has caused division among conservatives, and a leader of
the right said he will not be satisfied until it is clear whether Miers, a
longtime Bush confidante who has never been a judge, would overturn the
1973 landmark abortion ruling.
