Unbelievable. Maybe more on this later.
Update: I returned from classes with my knickers still in a knot about the appalling Meiers nomination to find that the most glaringly obvious criticisms have been duly leveled by those usually considered Bush’s intellectual base.
A great appellate judge loves the law so much it practically oozes from her pores. Meirs has demonstrated no such fondness for the thinking end of lawyering. Rather, she has voluntarily spent much of her professional life sitting on committees that would’ve driven Scalia to poke his eyes out with a sharp object. Meirs is probably a good person and a good lawyer, but I can think of personal friends who’d make more promising Supreme Court nominees. The Senate should demand better.
