What if Harriet Miers is a decoy?
Advertisements [?]
Bush knows that the dems held back on Roberts because the dems knew they could go all-out filibustering on one of the two open judicial seats and were saving it for the O'Connors replacement.

I mean, even I am realistic to know that Dems will do the filibuster on a judicial nomination ONCE, but it scares me to think that Miers could be a decoy, dems bring out their big guns and get her shot down and then Bush brings in the real nomination. When the real nomination gets named, the Bush Regime does the push on 'Blocking Justice' and 'Nuclear Filibuster' again thus weakening the democrat's for the second person named for the seat.

It's obvious that Harriet Miers has no qualifications whatsoever except being a Bush crony (and we all know how the get job placement in his administration).

This pick worries me because the democrats know they owe it to all their supporters to fight and keep the O'Connors replacement moderate like O'Connors was (a pro-choice republican).

Please tell me my :tinfoilhat: is too tight!
