Going to the 2nd best law school in Texas is like being the 3rd tallest guy in Japan.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

She's not an idiot, but I'd give her a "no" anyway. She's lukewarm at best.

I love that. "I'm a true Catholic but I support abortion and gay marriage." ALways makes me laugh.

yes, not.
There aren't many idiots I know that make it into the white house, or past law school. I think she will be more of a Lewis Powell.
Re: Simple dual question:
Having gone to too many evangelical churches, and knowing how they viewed science at the time...I'm skeptical of her ability to be objective or understand any but her own religious viewpoint. Having read quotes from her correspondence to Dubya while he was governor: "sycophant" is the only word that seems to fit. Lacking any real record other than that, there is not much to go on.
She is being sold as a "single issue" religious conservative. Her key selling point for the GOP is that she is anti-abortion. As if just any yahoo would do as long as said yahoo voted "right" on this issue. That isn't going over well with other conservatives (who understandably have broader agendas), nor with much of anyone else other than the religious right.
I have heard the private comments of some individual conservative financial types here in Texas, they think she is an intellectual lightweight based on personal experience.
Sidenote:
My least favorite hymn: "Trust and Obey." I've always found it intellectually offensive. I've made up new words, a snippet: "To be brainwashed by cultists, you must trust and obey."

GOP nom de plume for the Republican party. Thought to mean Grand Old Party, however some say Gallant Old Party.
Just for the non-Americans here.
Carry on gentlemen...
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: Simple dual question:
Idiot. Miers called Bush "the most brilliant man I ever met". Even hard-core Bush fans would have to agree that that statement puts either her life experiences, her judgement, or her truthfulness in question.
That being said, I think it's amazingly funny to watch the various wings of the Republican party scream at each other over her nomination.
When the Republicans like a nominee, they insist that Democratic senators have no right to ask questions about the candidate's judicial philosophy, the role religion might play in their decision-making, or their stance on issues like Roe v. Wade. However, this time, even though the White House (and Dobson) assures the conservative movement that they can trust her (wink-wink, nudge-nudge)... Bush has to come out and explain that it was her religious beliefs that were a key factor when picking her (wink-wink). A large segment on the right seems to want a guarantee of how she will vote on Roe v. Wade. Thus, all the previous complaining about improper questions goes out the window as long as it is Republicans who want the answers.
And, no offence, but plenty of idiots make it past law school and into the White House. They just have to be useful idiots who learn how to serve power.
