score one for the missus
A week or so back on some romantically hazy post margarita post Katrina post Chief Justice Roberts nomination night, The Wife and I found ourselves discussing possibilities for Supreme Court nominees to fill the still empty Sandra slot.
(empty Sandra slot? As I am quite certain I am not the only one with a gutter mind I'll let you my dear reader, make up your own tasteless crass and offensive joke about that. But please, email it to me so that I may share it with the rest of the world.)
Not that we were bandying about names or anything, we're not quite that geeky, although it has always been something of a secret aspiration of mine.
(If I could have learned to throw off skills and stats of federal judges and legal officials the way Spew spills his wack UT Football knowledge. . . Whoa Nelly! Back in the day I would have really been a babe bangin' machine!)
We we're just kinda shooting the shit and speculating about what type of folk would cut the current Presidential Mustard.
At the time, Dubya's poll numbers were still sinking more rapidly than the water in New Orleans.
The Wife hypothesized, that since Americans were already pissed and becoming increasingly more so with our Blessed Commander in Chief, his nominee for the High Court could not be anybody blatantly controversial/conservative. She surmised that Dubya would chose some sort of nameless unknown to fill the vacancy. Her logic being something like if Dubya picked somebody nobody knew anything about then nobody really had anything to complain about.
She then went on and speculated that if Dubya took such a course of action, he ran the risk of aggravating and alienating the folks who rightly or wrongly feel like Dubya made them promises and owes them something. The Wife said that if Dubya chose a relatively non-controversial unknown he ran the risk of pissing off his conservative base of support.
She saw it as kind of "damned if he does and damned if he doesn't" situation.
Well I'll be damned. . .
Disappointed, Depressed and Demoralized
Miers' Qualifications Are 'Non-Existent'
Bush's Supreme Court Pick: Is She Right Enough?
Pick Made From Weakness Is Unnecessary Roll of the Dice
I do love her so.
