change the face

some people, i'm sure, are breathing a sigh of relief not that miers has withdrawn her nomination to the supreme court. don't. my money's on alberto gonzalez being nominated, and while he's imminently more qualified, he's also much less good for america. well, in my opinion. he's clearly more conservative, yet he's also latino, which should help garner support. i don't like him.

possibly bush will nominate another woman, but his most likely choices aren't much better than alberto. i wouldn't find a democrat filibuster surprising, and with frist in his sec tangle i have doubts about his ability to go nuclear. so, we'll see. i'm sure i won't like bush's choice to replace sandra day o'connor (i liked roberts, more for his intellect and capacity than his potential conservative politics), but we'll see. maybe he'll do something inspired.

that's a joke.
