Once again, I am not sure what to think about Bush's Supreme Court nominee. I had the same ambivalence when Roberts was initially nominated, and although I don't think he was ready to be Chief Justice, things could have been worse.

And now Harriet Miers has me more perplexed. On the one hand, conservatives seem to be upset about the nomination, because she apparently isn't conservative enough. She has contributed money to both parties, including Al Gore's 1988 presidential run.

On the other hand, she doesn't seem to be qualified for the job. She is the Mike Brown of the Supreme Court, nominated because of her close personal ties with Bush, who overlooked her lack of experience. I mean, she previously ran the Texas Lottery Commission. Both conservatives and liberals have shown outrage at this apparent cronyism.

There is a lot yet to be known about the latest Supreme Court nominee, but that she once referred to George W. Bush as "brilliant" says a lot.

Plus, "Harriet Miers" has her own blog (yes, it's satire). Here's her latest post:
