I'm cool with nominating a non-judge and all (in fact, I think the Supreme Court should have at least one non-judge, as strange as that may sound), but this Miers pick sucks balls. Way to follow up Roberts, Bush. Your telling me that she's going to be able to hold her intellectual own against the new Chief, let alone Scalia/Thomas or Ginsburg? This court is arguably the smartest it's *ever* been and now one of its slots appears to have been given over to blatant cronyism and tokenism.

(One final note: I really hate the idea that O'Connor's seat became a "woman's seat." How lame.)
