Why George Bush picked Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court


I did not realize that right-wing, radical republicans had such a hard-on for Sandra Day O'Connors spot on the Supreme Court. Those people live to stop gay marriage and overturn Roe v. Wade. Was John Roberts just a "gimme" to Bush? Roberts had no paper-trail either and went so far to say that Roe v. Wade was the "Law of the land".

But when Bush picked Harriet you would have thought the world had come to an end. Right wing pundits and listeners to their radio and cable shows have been calling in by the droves to basically bitch slap both George for his incompetence in picking her and Harriet herself for being in over her intellectual head. Why are they surprised now? Bush & Company have been doing nothing but appointing lawyers to positions of importance that they have zero experience in. Paul Bremer in Iraq, Mike Brown at FEMA and a host of others. Hell, Bush himself did not have the experience to be President. W was a puppet Governor in Texas for 5 years and then his brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush hands him that states electoral votes on a silver platter in 2000 and his dad, Dick Cheney and James Baker handed him the Supreme Court decision not to count all of the Florida votes.

So right wing republicans have raised their ugly "Christian" heads. I hope this riff in the GOP costs them Congress in 2006. But why did George do it? Out of all the people he could have chosen, he picked another Texas crony who was on the Dallas City Council and ended up being Georges personal lawyer in the White House. Some resume.

The reason George picked Harriet is because he knows that his own personal corruption, conspiracy and abuse of power case might end up before that very court. George & company do not want a legal genius deciphering the Constitution when his ass will be on the line. They want someone who will do exactly what the fuck they tell them to do. They need their own hand picked "bitch" on the court (no pun intended) who will take their talking points and hand delivered White House opinions and put them on Supreme Court letterhead. That political prostitute happens to be Harriet Miers. I'm Chaz Atlas and that's how I see it.
