The Political Chase

Yet Again, No Experience

George Bush continues his long history of cronyism by nominating Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court.  Ms. Myers’ experience in public service is limited to being a member of city council.  How can she possibly be qualified when she has never been a judge? I recognize that more than 30 judges have previously been appointed to the Court and had no prior experience as a judge (including Rehnquist), but it just doesn’t make sense to me.

A letter to the editor of The State, a South Carolina newspaper, sums it up quite well.

President Bush giving it his all

Now y’all shouldn’t’t be picking on President Bush for the job he’s doing. Bless his heart, he’s doing the best he can.
