So the chances that Meier will be a good judge...

[annabanana]

are about the same that we'd hit big numbers in the Texas Lottery?

Talk about 'cher crap shoot!

1. They don't want no stink-ing 'goog judge'. They want cover.

And sounds like she does that well. If your whole team is going down, you want friends on the board that busts umpires.

[Why Syzygy]

2. Maiden voyage and all?

She's never made a court ruling in her life.

He sure knows how to pick 'em.

3. "Hope" is not a "plan". It isn't even a percentage shot.

How much is this adminstration about what MIGHT work out fine? Iraq, environmental policy, deficits...

But hope isn't a plan.

When my dad was teaching me how to play basketball, we talked about percentage shots, that is, the shots you would more likely make versus the shots you might make. You took the percentage shots, you didn't take the others.

Bush just puts it up. He's a chucker.

4. And yet,

when you weigh the alternative choices, such as Janice Rogers-Brown and Michael Lutig, her nomination is a far better choice for us.

Far from perfect, but at least there is some hope.

5. WHY is she any better? You have not one factual ground for this opinion.

You are saying better the devil you DON"T know? With the other two, there are paper trails upon which to question them and base a decision. This babe is the ultimate stealth candidate. Speaking as an attorney, I feel this is Bush/Rove's move to provide a rubberstamp vote for Roberts, just the way Clarence Thomas did for Rehnquist. You know that there's no way Bush/Rove would appoint anyone who might think independently.
