"This morning, President Bush nominated Harriet Miers to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. Miers is a long-time political appointee, campaign counsel, personal lawyer and Bush loyalist who has never served as a judge."
I don't generally want to drag politics into this blog, but you have got to be kidding. Never served as a judge? Fucking hell.
Posted by foodnerd at October 3, 2005 08:25 PMThis is actually standard practice. If I remember correctly William Reinquist was not a judge before taking his place on the Supreme Court. Does it make sense, not really, but is it something way out there , no.
