Supreme Court

The patented Dick Cheney Job Search Process at work

Courtesy of the LA Times:

This year it was Miers who brought word to the president that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was retiring, it was Miers who interviewed potential successors and told others they were passed over, and Miers who ended up winning the nomination herself.

It's deja vu all over again. Does everyone remember that Dick Cheney was appointed head of the VP search committee back in '99, when Bush was looking for someone of stature to give him props? And after yet another Bush-style search, Cheney figured out he, himself, was the right man for the job.

Can someone explain to me why anyone is taking this woman seriously? She was Bush's PERSONAL LAWYER! She's NEVER BEEN A JUDGE! She PICKED HERSELF FOR THE JOB!
