Charles Krauthammer, Friday's child for conservatives, today weighs in heavily against Harriet Miers.
SWNID disagrees. That means Dr. K is likely wrong, because SWNID is by definition seldom wrong. We think that a Supreme Court needs both some legal brilliance, which John Roberts brings but which Scalia already had, and some behind-the-scenes, quietly-making-things-work expertise, which Miers brings. It's high time the court stopped writing three, four or five opinions on every case. Somebody needs to make these boys and girls play together nicely. Harriet the Whirlybird sponsor and head of the 450-parter law firm and president of the Texas Bar Association and White House Counsel is our woman.
But Dr. K has such thrilling hutzpah, such aridly dry wit, that it's hard not to bow in obeisance as one reads his column.
