The untimely withdrawal  from Harriet Miers , current White House counsel to the President and Supreme Court nominee, points to the ongoing futility this administration has in operating the country. Before the nominee even goes before the full senate, she leaves the same unanswered questions that many wanted to have addressed.  I can't say it really matters now, but why should have it mattered at all? Why was she nominated? Is our president that clueless?

When you appoint someone to a position that requires approval, isn't it obvious that the person has to stand up to critique or at least have a history to critiqued? Ms. Miers had no judical history;  was mainly a corporate lawyer for  Locke Purnell Boren Laney & Neely- a Dallas, TX  law firm, which eventually became Locke Liddell & Sapp, LLP, a Houston-based law firm; and seemed at best just a GOG (Good Ole Girl) to the President.

No one put in the position of chief executive should be so blind to understand the basic framework of nominations is to present candidates that actually have the credentials to be CANDIDATES. And uphold the tenants of constitution...which are both CIVIL and CRIMINAL in nature.

I think, she was nominated to change CORPORATE dealings more than the PERSONAL issues of Gay rights, Abortion or some other all-encompassing issue. Not every case that goes before THE COURT is about each and everyone of us - directly. The emphasis on these issues (gay rights and abortion) in all nominees forgets the the local municipal, corporate and state-level considerations.

But then again, this President still thinks he just got elected - utilizing his earned  electoral capital to change things. (Which was a cloaked statement to say: "I'm gonna do what I want, when I want and how I want.") Since November 2004, he's done that - at our detriment. Same as usual.

A side joke that fits this situation:

A man hit his ball into the bunker and looked down and
saw a magic lamp.  He rubbed it and a Genie popped out.
The Genie said, "Look, I'm very busy so I'm going to grant
you only one wish so make it good."

The man said, "I'm afraid of flying so I'd like you to build
an overseas bridge to Hawaii."  The Genie said, "Do you
realize how incredibly difficult that would be.  I'm
powerful but I can't do that.  Make another wish."

The man said, "OK, I'd like to know how a woman's
brain works."

The Genie said, "Do you want that bridge
two lanes or four?"
