Due Consideration

Here is something to consider, from the Federalist papers no less. I think it does far better to explain, than any of the media whores do, about what a poor choice Harriet Miers is for the Supreme Court.

"To what purpose then require the co-operation of the Senate? I answer, that the necessity of their concurrence would have a powerful, though, in general, a silent operation. It would be an excellent check upon a spirit of favoritism in the President, and would tend greatly to prevent the appointment of unfit characters from State prejudice, from family connection, from personal attachment, or from a view to popularity. In addition to this, it would be an efficacious source of stability in the administration."
