My objections are the following:
1. She is 60 years old. Yes, I said it. We need someone in their late 40's early 50's at the oldest.
2. She has zero judicial experience. Sure it can be a plus, but she has been a corporate litigator which to me does not signify that she has had the opportunity to review or educate herself on Con Law issues.
3. There are literally scores of more qualified candidates with a proven reliable record.
4. This pick makes GWB look weaker than he already is. It makes him look like he is afraid of a fight.
5. She was Reid's first pick. Enough said.
6. She has no record of ever being a conservative. Has she ever been part of the Federalist Society? Written law review articles? Volunteered or worked for conservative causes or candidates other than GWB?
7. Trust me is not good enough in this case.
The (left-wing, liberal) Houston Chronicle wrote a nice puff piece today. If the Chronicle likes her, how could she be conservative?
Does anyone hear any liberals screaming their heads off?
Their silence, or faint praise, tells a lot of this candidate's leanings.
