OT Bush And Miers Were Close Friends

AUSTIN, Texas -- U.S. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers told George
W. Bush in a 1997 birthday card that he was "the best governor ever"
and, in a separate note to her boss, said she hoped his twin daughters
recognize their parents are "cool."

The communications between Miers, who served as chair of the Texas
Lottery Commission, and Bush, then governor of Texas, tell the story of
a very warm relationship.

Bush faces criticism that he chose Miers for the high court because of
their close friendship.

President Kennedy chose his brother Bobby to be Attorney General.

I think even most conservatives do not agree with Bush on this one. She
might go too far left on certain issues.

How would anyone know?

I think that is at the crux of the problem (at least for the
conservative side).

Hell I wanted a big fight!

I also wanted the idiots on the left to get that damned filibuster
started and forced to completion and thrown out...

Interseting show on RFK on PBS last night.

RFK was a Justice dept. lawyer and also a Senate Lawyer adviser of some
kind prosecuting Mafia types in the 1950s.

So it's not like he was totally unqualified.

Miers is a lawyer/administrator/hack.

She's a joke. They're saying now that she donated to Hillary her
Senate bid. Still on her side? Then you're "stuck on Stupid!".

I don't know where you get the idea she is a "hack". Besides, where
does it say you have to have all this judicial experience.

I don't know about Bobbies mafia advice or whatever, but he did go after
Hoffa, but that was when he was attorney general.

Yeah, if that's the case we don't want her. We'll find out more during
the hearings. I'm quite sure the Repubs will grill her good.

You are Stuck On Stupid!

She's a bureaucrat/administrator. Some of her former co-workers said
she was obsessed with process over substance.

She also funded feminist programs, etc. read nationalreview.com

RFK started doing that in the 1950s as a Senate lawyer. He wasn't just
a random guy JFK put on as Atty. General.

Of course he and she are close friends. She's been his lawyer for more than
10 years. When YOU get to be Prez, they you can appoint your lawyer to the
Supreme Court, but until that happens, shut your trap.

There are 9 justices on the Supreme Court. Bush got the rare opportunity to
pick two, but he will be gone in two years, and the next Prez will get to
pick at least one new justice -- the justices are rather old as a group, and
at least one is bound to retire during the next presidency, and maybe two.
In the next two presidential cycles, odds are good that at least three
justices will step down. This means that whomever Bush appoints will be
counterbalanced anyway. That's why the Supreme Court system even works,
justices rotate out at a rate that is on average, one every other president.
We never know when one will step aside or, God forbid, drop dead, but the
sitting President gets to pick a successor that fits his (or her) agenda,
and we have to deal with that justice for the next 30-odd years.

Sometimes a justice is appointed that I like, sometimes it's one that you
like. Seldom is the appointed justice one that we all like.

A huge difference though, is that the AG loses his job with the next
President, a Supreme Court judge keeps his job for the rest of his life.

So, when a Prez appoints his golf buddy to a cabinet post, the affects are
only there as long as the Prez is there. As soon as there is a new Prez,
then there is a new Cabinet, unless the current Cabinet plays golf with the
new Prez.
