Gee. What a surprise!

Howdy!

So yesterday I hear Sen. Brownbeck offering commentary on Harriet Miers. He was concerned about her potential for judicial activism.

*snort*

Brownbeck is one of many senators who should just Shut Up about judicial activism (unless they are endorsing it). He voted to confirm Janice Rogers Brown to the D.C. Circuit Court. Given her avowed penchant for judicial activism, why did he vote to confirm her?

Oh, right. Silly me. Her activism is the "right kind" I guess. It's only "liberal" activism that is verboten.

Of course, now that Miers has withdrawn her nomination, the point is moot for the moment.

yours,
Herveus

The shrub has consistently shown great loyalty to his close associates. Unfortunately, this appears to blind him to their faults and weaknesses.

At least Roberts had some judicial credentials. Miers was too much of a cipher.
