Harriet Meirs Reconsidered
The White House has made me change my mind.
Meirs’ confirmation handler says it doesn’t matter if she’s brilliant. The less-than-brilliant Americans deserve to have their own judge.
Orin Hatch says we ought not to ask commerce clause questions until Ms. Meirs has had time to take a “crash course” in Constitutional Law.
Well, hell, let us just take the pro-Meirs side at their word. Confirm Meirs!
