President Bush nominated Harriet Miers as the next Justice of the Supreme Court. Okay. Let's look at this for a minute. Bear with me now.
People are screaming about his choice. She's pro-life, she's a Christian, she used to be a Democrat, she has no experience as a judge. All true. But are they missing the big picture?
What if, what if, the President is doing it again. Several times in the past he has wowed his critics by pulling his fat out of the fire by making a brilliant save. Is this another case?
Perhaps Miss Miers was nominated precisely because she couldn't be confirmed? Think about it for a minute. The Democrats were itching for a confirmation fight, right? They've got it with this choice. Perhaps the President is planning for her defeat, so he can bring in the real nominee. Would the Democrats risk looking stupid by not confirming two in a row? I'm not sure. But it is an interesting scenario, don't you think?
