so bush picked harriet miers for the SC.

a few issues:

she has donated to pete sessions (r), phil gramm (r), kay bailey hutchison (r), gwb, other republicans, committees, etc. etc. she has also donated to al gore (d), the dnc, and lloyd bentsen (d). will this mean anything? is she a stealth souter once again?

she has less of a paper trail than john roberts. this is dangerous for both parties, so I guess we'll see what happens.

and check this out:

Public Advocate President Eugene Delgaudio has issued the following statement following the appointment of Harriet Miers to serve on the Supreme Court.

"The President's nomination of Miers is a betrayal of the conservative, pro-family voters whose support put Bush in the White House in both the 2000 and 2004 elections and who were promised Supreme Court appointments in the mold of Thomas and Scalia. Instead we were given 'stealth nominees,' who have never ruled on controversial issues, more in the mold of the disastrous choice of David Souter by this President's father.

"When there are so many proven judges in the mix, it is unacceptable this President has appointed a political crony with no conservative credentials. This attempt at 'Bush Packing' the Supreme Court must not be allowed to pass the Senate and we will forcefully oppose this nomination."

well, at the very least, it'll be interesting to find out what miers is all about...
