Top Notch Nominees
James Capozzola at the Rittenhouse Review makes a vital point that I should have noted last week. The brain trust behind the United States Attorney scandal represents what President Bush deemed to be worthy of Supreme Court nominations. Once upon a time, being mentioned as a candiate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy meant that one really was smart and competent and respected.
What is obviously most incredibly unbelievable about the latest Bush administration scandal—that surrounding the proposed Saturday Night Massacre of every single U.S. attorney around the country—is that the two "minds" behind the effort, the utterly incompetent, even back in Austin, Alberto Gonzales, and the quintessential Avon Lady, Harriet Miers, were considered by this very White House to be Supreme Court material.
Unbelievable. And yet, well, "par for the course," trite as that sounds, are the first words that come to mind.
