Harriet Miers' Supreme Nomination

President Bush has nominated Harriet Miers' to fill Sandra Day O'Conner's seat on the Supreme Court. Miers has been Bush's Counsel. I always enjoy watching Members of Congress asking Supreme Court Nominees questions and then voting for or against the nomination. It's usually the case of a great legal mind at the mercy of many lesser legal minds, each with their own agendas....and an opportunity to get some prime TV time!
Oh, and before anyone calls this a "hasty decision", it's been reported that the President had a "short list" of 12 - 15 candidates. Six were women.
