I do not often discuss politics in this journal...

...but I think it necessary to point out that anyone who says that President Bush "was the most brilliant man she had ever met" is a bad, bad, bad, bad nominee for the highest court in the land. Either she lied for cronyistic political reasons or she's mentally unstable, and either way that's not remotely what a Supreme Court nominee ought to be. I would have voted "aye" on Roberts, but there's no way I could vote anything but "nay" on Miers. (Clarification: I do not actually have a vote, as I am not a Senator. Wanted to make sure you realized that.)
