Harriet Miers, the perfect Bush pick

Geez - a crony with no judicial experience. What a shock. Sadly, she may be the best we can get. We'll have to see how the hearings go, but if she turns out to have ties to the usual suspects (Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, etc.), this would be a great reason to break out the nuclear option.

Read what Reddhead said over at firedoglake -- far better than anything I could have written about this...

And then there's this, from David Frum:

In the White House that hero worshipped the president, Miers was distinguished by the intensity of her zeal: She once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met.

So we already know that she is a poor judge of character...

I'm also loving that www.confirmthem.com is decidedly not enthusiastic about confirming Miers. I'm also loving that the Volokh Conspiracy has come up with a few options to rename the site. Enjoy the snark...
