Who knows?

I don’t know. Apparently only a few others who consider themselves “in the know” know either. The first thing out of the mouths of conservative critics of President Bush’s pick of Harriet Miers as the next Supreme Court Justice is, “I don’t know her but…” They don’t know her but they wish Bush had picked someone they know is conservative rather than Bush picking someone he knows is conservative.

Democrats don’t know Miers either so as their coming out position are shouting cronyism because, Miers served as the president’s personal lawyer. Now let me see, who was President Kennedy’s Attorney General, Bobby somebody…? Who did President Clinton have heading up his health care reform commission, Billery, Shrillery …? Democrats are also zooming in on what appears to be a rather thin resume for the position. To me that’s a good thing. The less anyone has to do with inner workings of the rule of five the better. There is a rather long list of inept, senile and corrupt justices who have served on the highest court in the land. Miers is probably better than all of them combined. Besides I remember in high school some of the best athletes never tried out for the team and some of the best musicians never played in the school band.

I don’t know any more about Miers than I did about my own favorite Janis Rogers Brown. Brown was my pick mainly because I just thought it would be a beautiful irony to watch wacko Democrats and the idiot groups that support them trying to destroy a black woman whose parents were share croppers, who snuck off of the entitlement plantations and has accomplished more than anyone asking her questions. Now those groups and conservative groups are taken aback because they don’t know Miers. Liberal groups will soon catch their breath and realize that while they don’t know Miers Bush does. They will have no choice but to fill her name into the prepared templates and try to destroy her. Republicans, who are used to killing and eating their own, will be slower to trust Bush and/or Miers. They have been burned by this process too many times.

All of this is much ado about nothing. We conservatives never know how one of our picks will hold up under the stress of liberal Washington. Many who appeared to have bonafide conservative credentials going in have folded under the constant pressure of Liberal Washington D.C. and the MSM. Remember, we “knew” O’Connor, Kennedy and Souter. The need to get along and appear to be the enlightened one has trumped the Constitution time and again. Liberal picks never seem to go Conservative but, Conservative picks it seems have a 50/50 chance of going Liberal. Given that record and the fact that few admit that they know her, maybe we ought to wait and see how Ms. Miers turns out before killing her reputation and her nomination. It may be folly in the end, but for now I trust Bush on this because he is one of the few who thinks he knows Miers.
