Retreat by Charles Krauthammer

"For a man whose presidency is marked by a courageous willingness to think and do big things, this nomination is a sorry retreat into smallness."

Good line from an opinion piece about President Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. It is disappointing to me that he picked a political ally rather than a judicial expert. As George Will said in another opinion piece, if 100 experts were asked to choose their 10 top Supreme Court prospects, she would not be named in any of the 1,000 spots on the list.
