Cronyism

Harriet Miers has been nominated to the Supreme Court. Her only apparent qualification for this high honor is that she has been President Bush's personal lawyer for a while. Reading through her profile in the Washington Post emphasizes her personal relationship with Bush constantly, her legal qualifications hardly at all. Haven't we had enough of Bush's cronyism at FEMA? Do we really need it now on the Supreme Court, for perhaps decades to come? After a pretty shrewd choice in Roberts, the president has really dropped the ball here.
