Was I right, or was I right?

Actually, we'll never know for certain, but I think my assertion that Harriet Miers was a throwaway candidate for the Supreme Court may have been right on the button.

Fromm Confirm Them:

A graduate of Princeton and then Yale Law School, an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the appellate division, Assistant to the Solicitor General, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey — what’s not to like?

Judge Alito also was unanimously confirmed in 1990 by voice vote in the U.S. Senate for the Third Circuit seat he currently holds; has argued 12 Supreme Court cases, argued at least two dozen court of appeals cases, and handled at least 50 others.

So he’s been confirmed by the Senate twice, has impeccable credentials, and a hsitory as a crime-fighter . . . as U.S. Attorney, he prosecuted white collar and environmental crimes, drug trafficking, organized crime and civil rights violations.

Oh, yes — and he’s a member of the Federalist Society.

Dems — filibuster this!

The Kleptocrats have used up so much of their sound and fury on Harriet Miers that to delay a second nominee would strain the public's attention span too far. A filibuster now would hurt them more than us. Let's face it: they can't filibuster for the next three years straight. They just about have to confirm Alito. And so we get a very clearly pro-life justice on the bench, despite the gnashing of teeth from the Molochian left.

I really hope Bush planned it this way.
