Conservatives are Not Amused with the Miers’ Nomination

This nomination is almost too cute (President appoints long-time personal lawyer), and barely passes the laugh test; Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah was heard arguing that her stint on the Dallas City Council means that she would bring real world experience to the table rather than having been in a judicial cloister. While being an elected official is an act of public service, being on a city council is not a strong argument for sitting on the Supreme Court (and I’m trying not to chuckle as I write that last sentence).
