Many names Floated as Next Supreme Court Nominee
WASHINGTON — President Bush on Monday chose White House counsel Harriet Miers (search) to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the U.S. Supreme Court.

"She will be an outstanding addition to the Supreme Court of the United States," Bush said during a press conference announcing his pick.

Saying she has a "record of achievement with the law," Bush said Miers also has "built a reputation of character and integrity" and possesses a "deep compassion and abiding sense of duty."

"She will bring that same passion for service to the Supreme Court of the United States," he added.

If confirmed, Miers, 60, would join Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the second woman presently serving on the nation's highest court.

"I am very grateful for the confidence in me that you've shown by this nomination and certainly I am humbled by it," Miers told Bush during the press conference.

The White House is describing the nominee as "a woman of many firsts," including being one of the first staff members to arrive at the White House each morning and among the last to leave. She is known for thoroughness and her low-profile.


I am SO DAMN tired of Bushes most important criteria for picking people to put into high office beign his personal acquaintance with them. He had a perfectly good opportuinty to both put an excellent libertarian conservative on the court, instead he chooses his own personal lawer (the same thing he did for AG), who just happens to be chief moonbat Harry Reids first pick as well.

GAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

My one hope is that she is a sacrificial lamb, intended for the democrats to dash their credibility on; thus opening the way for a REAL constitutionalist. Alas I am certain this is only a fantasy.

Update:
Bruce and I seem to be in agreement on this one
And Eric as well
