Hmmm...

I think this line of reasoning for why Bush nominated Roberts and than Miers gives altogether too much credit to Bush's intellectual capabilities. Does anyone really believe that nomination of Miers is really part of Bush's grand scheme to make the SCOTUS irrelevant? Has Bush ever been able to formulate a long-term plan? Iraq anyone... I think its just another example of Bush appointing one of his unqualified "buddies" for an important governmental job.
