President Obama continues to lengthen his string of go-along-with-Bush policies, which include Gitmo tribunals and non-closure, Patriot Act surveillances, TARP bailout - quadrippled at least, etc.  Now with his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, Pres. Obama has out-Bushed Pres. Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers.

 

Ms. Miers also has a compelling personal story.  She was considered, however, to be somewhat of a lightweight, lacking intellectual rigor, especially in the heady realm of constitutional law and Supreme Court land.  And Ms. Miers did not,  gasp,  attend an Ivy League law school.  But her accomplishments, especially in the male-dominated world of big law firms (and more especially during the 1970's, 80's and 90's), outshine those of Judge Sotomayor.  Even her intellectual acumen appears to best that of Judge Soto's, based on a comparison of their public utterances.

 

Even against the odds as tilted by the Obama loving media, could Judge Sotomayor become Pres. Obama's Harriet Miers?
