Speaking of Orwellian stuff, has it occurred to anyone else here that the whole 'Harriett Meyers for Supreme Court Justice' nomination was a brillaint political scam to get Alito in? With her being so rediculously underqualified, it allowed the Dems to vent and fume over her nomination, which was then quickly withdrawn, giving them the appearance of a victory (and exhausting their resistance). Then when Alito was proposed, if the Dems had gone after him as strongly, it would have left the impression that they were just naysayers towards any Bush nominee, seriously damaging their credibility. I personally think this was Rove political engineering at its best, or worst. ------------------------ Yahoo!
