Reply #19: It could be ploy by the White House to look moderate [View All]

So they nominanate a sealth candiate which they know will upset the right wing because the wingnuts are afraid of another Souter. Bush looks moderate which may bring up his poll numbers (although I doubt that it will).

Then Miers gets on the bench and starts ruling like the female version of Clarence Thomas. Bush can just stand back and say "she wasn't like that when she was my consul. Who knew?". The wingnuts are appeased and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
