Miers A Plant?

Seems like a no-brainer to us, though the same can't be said for many "liberal" voices: Miers, if she's the Presidential choice, cannot be good for the rest of us. And if it's true that KKKKKKarl Rove has been active in Harriet's ascension, we can be positive that there's a political angle at work here. There is nothing too cynical when it comes to these gangsters.

Of course, there could be a much more sinister reason for sending a true-blue Bush-woman to the court. Cheney, Karl Rove et al could be placing her there because they know that investigations into the CIA Leak and lobbyist Jack Abramoff will soon bring the world crashing down on their heads - and they are going to need a dependable swing vote - or, assuming she recuses herself on Bush matters, a spy - inside the Supreme Court.

[...]

At this moment, only two groups of people truly know the outcome of investigations into the current White House scandals: the investigators - and the guilty parties in the West Wing. While we are all speculating about what special prosecutors may or may not do, Team Bush has a precise forecast of the firestorm that awaits them, and they have been planning for this disaster for months.

The Bushistas dragged this country into a war for no other reason than noblesse oblige. Can there be any doubt that the sort of Banana Republicans who would take a country to war on an aristocratic whim would attempt to plant a crony on the Supreme Court?

So Bush gets a spy on the court. For her part, Miers gets a place in history beyond her wildest dreams. And Senate Democrats get a one-to-one replacement for retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

The losers in this are the GOP’s wingnut base who elected Bush and, last but not least, the country.

Rule of thumb: if BushCo wants it, it's not good.
