I'm not usually very political, but...

can I just say that Harriet Miers is a truly craptacular choice for the Supreme Court? Thank you.

This from CNN.com:

"President Bush suggested Wednesday that Harriet Miers' evangelical Christian beliefs were part of the reason he nominated her to the Supreme Court, but a White House spokesman said her religion played no role in her selection. 'Harriet Miers is a person of faith,' Scott McClellan told reporters. 'She recognizes, however, that a person's religion or personal views have no role when it comes to making decisions as a judge.'"

Well, kidlets, get thy story together, alrighty? Was her born-again-ish bent a reason for Dubya's choice or not? I find this very important, frankly, as I don't like the thought of a potential Supremie who has basically taken a Life Position that all her judgments must be guided by her Christian beliefs. That does not bode well for a diverse nation.

C'mon, Dubya - when Ann "She Who Walks Behind the Rove" Coulter disagrees with you, there's something seriously wrong with your choice. What was it Michael Penn said last night? Something to the effect that he'd pick more on Bush but now, he's such an easy target, it's like shooting fish in a barrel...
