FACE IT! BUSH IS TRYING TO PACK THE SUPREME COURT

"George Bush decided to nominate himself to the Supreme Court."
Another articulate and damming essay regarding Ms. Miers, this time in the bastion of Conservatism, the Wall Street Journal. Take a read, more and more it looks like the Republicans may actually deep six this nomination. Add to that the super GOPer Charles Krauthammer. Some of THE most influential Conservatives on the block are piling on this one, all singing parts of the same tune: she is an unqualified mediocrity when compared to at least twenty other peopole, a lady who will do what Bush tells her to do rather than actually think. Every once in a while political parties stand up for principal, as they did when Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court in 1938 (which is exactly what Bush is trying to do in 2005) and when Johnson tried to elevate his crony, Abe Fortas.
