What's so bad about Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers? Liberal Democrats and activists from the Left are opposed to Miers because she may be against abortion, because she's a Bush crony, and she doesn't have the Left judicial experience. Conservative Republicans and activists from the Right are against Miers because she might turn liberal, because she's Bush's friend, and she doesn't have the Right judicial experience.

The Left think they are doing the Left thing. And the Right think they are doing the Right thing. They're both wrong. Under the circumstances, White House Counsel, Harriet Miers is probably the best choice for a justice of the Supreme Court because of her Left and Right experience, her character and integrity, being a trustworthy legal advisor to a governor and a president, and because of her lack of judicial contamination.

Our government's problems are the result of endless political battles that result in little more than more government. We did not make this enormous mess, yet it was allowed to happen by the consent of the governed. Maybe it's time to give our consent to only those committed to cleaning it up.
